Peel regional police say a situation involving a person in crisis who barricaded themselves in a building near Credit Valley Hospital on Friday was resolved in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Crisis negotiators were called to the area of Eglinton Avenue West and Erin Mills Parkway in Mississauga just after 7:30 a.m. Friday.
“Police, along with Mississauga Fire and Peel Paramedics, responded to a medical facility adjacent to a local hospital for reports of an armed subject inside,” said police.
