Police in Toronto are searching for a man as part of an investigation into a firearm incident that took place at the end of July.
Toronto police said they were called to the area of Dundas Street West and Dovercourt Road at around 12:50 a.m. on July 30.
Police alleged a man had previously stolen someone’s phone when the victim confronted him. Police said the man pointed a gun at the victim from inside a satchel, before a physical struggle.
During the confrontation, police said the victim was able to disarm the man who then fled the scene.
He is described as being between five-feet-seven and five-feet-eight inches tall with a slim build.
The man has long-brown braided hair and a beard, according to police, with a Playboy bunny tattooed on the left side of his neck.
He wore a white t-shirt, dark blue ripped jeans and white Nike shoes, according to police.
Anyone who locates the man is asked to call 911 as police believe he is “armed, violent and dangerous.”
