Toronto police have made an arrest after a fight broke out Friday afternoon at Loblaws on Queen Street West.
Police tweeted just after 2 p.m. that they responded to a call for a person with a gun in the Queen Street West and Portland Street area. They said a man was arrested and a firearm was recovered.
Two
witnesses who identified themselves as employees, Brian Feeney and
Mason Lafford, told reporters that an argument broke out and a man
pulled out a gun.
Another shopper “bear hugged” the man with the gun and dragged him down an aisle away from onlookers.
The
witnesses said they did not believe the dispute to be over supplies,
saying most shoppers are “understanding” about some supplies that were
limited due to panic buying from people worried about the coronavirus pandemic.
While both said they get “interesting” shoppers, the incident was nothing like they had seen at this Loblaws before.
