Toronto police are investigating a suspected abduction in the city’s east end.
It appears a man was grabbed by a group of males somewhere in Scarborough and thrown into the trunk of a car.
Police said the victim texted his girlfriend from the trunk and they were able to track the location of his phone.
There was a short pursuit into north Toronto and the suspects took off running. The man was rescued from the trunk. It is not clear if he is injured.
Officers were somehow able to track the vehicle and stopped it near Highway 400 and Wilson Avenue, where the suspects fled on foot.
The person abducted was rescued from the trunk of the car around 2:30 a.m. Friday.
So far there have been no arrests and no description of the suspects.
