Three men were taken to the hospital after being electrocuted at a worksite near Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue West Monday evening.
Police said they were called to the Robina Avenue and St. Clair Avenue West area for a report of an industrial accident.
Toronto Paramedic Services said they were called to the scene at around 6 p.m.
The paramedic service said a 46-year-old man was originally in critical condition at the scene, but he was stabilized by paramedics and taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
A 29-year-old man was also taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, along with a third man, who had minor injuries.
Investigators said it appears the three men were working around the same ladder when it slipped and hit a power line.
The incident remains under investigation, police said.
