Toronto police officers fired a gun and less lethal weapons during an arrest that sent a man to hospital with a serious injury.

The Special Investigations Unit says officers were called to an apartment in the city’s west end on Saturday morning after a man allegedly stabbed someone and threatened others with a staple gun.

The watchdog says an officer fired a sock round from a less lethal weapon, which struck the man, and other officers deployed numerous “conducted energy” weapons.
