This article is more than 5 years old.
It started with an ominous tweet by Toronto police on Friday night just before 7 p.m., alerting the public to reports of a man with a gun in the King Street East and Victoria Street area.
Units responded with the type of urgency expected from a gun call.
Officers found the man in question, but in the end they didn’t ‘Dole’ out any punishment, because the suspected weapon turned out to be a banana, loaded with nothing more than a healthy dose of potassium.
Maybe the call should have been fielded by “Peel” regional police?
As expected, the internet had a field day with the light-hearted conclusion.
