The Toronto Police Service (TPS) has arrested a man who allegedly assaulted one person with a hammer during an altercation earlier this month in the city’s Parkdale neighbourhood.
Officers were called to the Queen Street West and King Street West area just after 9 a.m. on Aug. 3 for reports of an unknown trouble.
It’s alleged the accused and victim got into a dispute, resulting in the suspect assaulting the victim with a hammer.
The victim was treated at a hospital with serious injuries, and the suspect fled the scene.
