A man is facing a mischief charge after he was accused of damaging a Toronto parking enforcement vehicle after being issued a ticket last week.
Toronto police said officers were called to the area of Yonge and College streets in the downtown core at 5:10 p.m. last Wednesday after a vehicle was damaged.
Police said a parking enforcement officer was working in the area and motioned to a driver to move along, but he refused to do so.
