A reported fight in Toronto has left one person dead after being hit by a vehicle and another in hospital after what police called an “alert” incident.
According to Toronto police, officers received reports of a large group of people fighting in the area of Keele Street and Wilson Avenue around 6:01 a.m. Sunday.
Duty Insp. Scott Bradbury said during a press conference that an argument started in the area before a fight broke out. As the incident occurred, a man was injured and then struck by a light-colored vehicle that fled the scene.

After the arrival of the police and emergency workers, rescue measures were performed on the person, but he was found dead. Police said a second person was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The police homicide unit is investigating, but the description of the suspects is unknown at this time.
Bradbury said the incident is believed to be contained and there is no further risk to the public.
Supt. Jack Gurr, unit commander for the 31st Division, said in an interview that the area where the incident occurred is normally quiet.
“We rarely come in here for any real problems; there are very few concerns in this area, and so this is a very alarming situation for us,” Gurr said.
As police continue their investigation, Bradbury issued a warning to the suspects.
“To the people responsible for this murder, get a lawyer and turn yourself in,” Bradbury said. “Our investigators are actively following up on information.”
