Police have charged a 29-year-old Mississauga man in connection with a shooting early Saturday morning.
A 27-year-old man was shot twice in the chest at a highrise on Bloor Street, near Dixie Road, around 3 a.m.
He was transported to a trauma centre in Toronto. His injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Police responded quickly and managed to arrest the suspect as he was trying to escape.
“Officers scoured the area very quickly, and were able to arrest a party [believed to be] responsible for the shooting,” Const. George Tudos said.
Jason Ancheril has been charged with attempted murder, utter death threats, discharging a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm and breach of a weapons prohibition.
He was due in a Brampton court on Saturday for a bail hearing.
