Toronto police are searching for suspects after at least five people were pepper-sprayed in the Yonge Street and Dundas Street area Friday evening.

Police were called to the area around 9:45 p.m. Friday for reports of an altercation involving five or six males, Sgt. Rob McDougall said from the scene. During the altercation one of the men deployed what he described as "a large can" of pepperspray.
All of the men since have fled the area, he said.
