Toronto police have identified a man they say is wanted for kidnapping and robbery with a firearm in connection with an incident in the city earlier this year.
Police said in a news release Wednesday that on Sept. 19, officers were called to the area of Symington Avenue and Dupont Street for reports of a kidnapping and robbery.
Police said a group of men approached two men and forced them into a vehicle at gunpoint.
Inside the vehicle, one person was stabbed and cash was stolen, police allege.
The release said 25-year-old Toronto resident Carlos Swaby-Palacios is wanted for two counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery with a firearm, three counts of pointing a firearm, and assault causing bodily harm.
Police described him as six-foot-three, 180 pounds with long black curly hair in a ponytail. Officers said he is known to frequent the area of Jameson Avenue and Queen Street West.
