Officers responded to a robbery call for a stolen e-bike on Thursday morning, said Toronto police spokesperson Stephanie Miceli. She said police located a suspect near Bloor Street E. and Sherbourne Street around 3:21 a.m.

During the interaction, the suspect shot one of the officers, Miceli said.

The officer was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, she said. Toronto paramedics did not share any details and referred all responses to police instead.
