Toronto police say one person has been sent to hospital as they look for a suspect reportedly carrying a machete.
Police say they responded to initial reports of a person carrying a machete and wearing a white "horror movie" ski mask near Bathurst Street and Finch Avenue.
An updated description from police does not mention a mask, but says a male suspect is reportedly carrying a machete and wearing all black clothing with white gloves and a white backpack.
In a series of brief updates posted to social media, police initially said there were two victims with unknown injuries and later said one person was being sent to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and that a second victim has not been located.
The Toronto District School Board says a lockdown at a nearby high school was lifted late Monday afternoon.
Police asked people to stay out of the area.
