Dundas Street is currently closed in both directions from College Street to Lansdowne Avenue for a police investigation.

The incident comes days after Toronto police said two officers were injured in separate attacks in the city on Tuesday night. The president of the Toronto Police Association told CP24 earlier this week that one of the officers suffered a serious leg injury that required surgery.
