Wielding two ominous butcher knives, a seemingly crazed man confronted a slew of Toronto police officers at the corner of Yonge and Wellesley early Tuesday morning.
“Shoot me!” he taunted the officers, who surrounded him with guns drawn in a tense street standoff.
Death may have been his wish, but Toronto’s finest blew out the candles on his hopes for extinction, diffusing a potentially fatal confrontation by pinning the man between a bicycle stand and a police cruiser.
When the car backed up, the suspect was unhinged from his momentary prison. But it wouldn’t be long before he was in a more conventional form of custody.
Finally admitting defeat, he tossed both knives to the ground and police closed in, using pepper spray to further incapacitate their unstable nemesis.
