Toronto police say they have made an arrest in connection with a man who was seen on video spraying an unknown substance into a water bowl for pets.
It was around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday when a security camera above a business on Queen Street East at Boulton Avenue caught the act.
In the video, a man is seen pointing towards the water bowl while walking past it. Seconds later, he walks towards the bowl and appears to open a bottle and spray a substance into the bowl before walking away.
A witness in the video is seen alerting other pedestrians before warning the store employee, who removes the bowl before the footage ends.
On Wednesday, police arrested 41-year-old Johnny Forte, a resident of Toronto.
He is charged with mischief of property. He is scheduled for a court appearance Thursday morning.
