Police make arrest after alleged carjacking in Scarborough
Toronto police say they have made an arrest in connection with an alleged carjacking in Scarborough on Saturday that left a woman injured.
Police said earlier that they did not believe the woman was targeted and that the man may be suffering from mental health issues.
Officers were called to an area near the intersection of Bellamy Road North and Ellesmere Road at around 12:10 p.m. for a report of a car being stolen.
A man had demanded car keys from a woman while she was standing outside her car, a grey 2014 Toyota Camry, at a place of worship, according to Staff Sgt. Kevin Murrell of Toronto Police Service's 43 Division.
The woman refused, a minor assault on the woman occurred, and the man grabbed the keys. He drove off in the vehicle, Murrell said.
Police said shortly after 6 p.m. that the suspect is now in custody and that the vehicle has been recovered.
