Toronto police said the incident took place just before 12 p.m. near College Street and Roxton Road. Officers were responding to a vehicle theft call.

In a brief tweet, Toronto police said a police firearm was discharged and two suspects were arrested.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate. It probes police incidents including when guns are fired by an officer.

Toronto streetcars were re-routed as a result of the closure.
