Police are searching for a driver who they say struck four pedestrians on a walkway at Toronto Metropolitan University Tuesday afternoon.
The incident happened just before 2 p.m. on Nelson Mandela Walk, a pedestrian pathway on the TMU campus near Yonge and Gerrard streets, Toronto police said in multiple posts on X. Police had taped off part of the walkway near a drop-in child-care centre on campus Tuesday afternoon.
When police arrived, the driver had fled the scene.
Police say the suspect was driving a dark green sedan with a cracked windshield, last seen headed east on Gould Street toward Church Street.
Toronto paramedics say of the four pedestrians were injured, two were taken to hospital, including one with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. They have not provided any information about the victims.
TMU issued a safety alert online, instructing students to avoid the area as there is an active police investigation. The incident is not affecting classes, labs or exams, according to the alert.
