Despite a raucous but generally well-behaved crowd after the Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors for their first NBA championship, there were several incidents reported across Toronto’s downtown core.

Shortly after 4:15 a.m., Toronto paramedics rushed a man to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a shooting in the area of Yonge and Gould Sts., just north of Yonge-Dundas Square, where thousands of fans gathered to celebrate the history-making win.

The man was conscious and breathing at the time, according to a police spokeswoman.

Police say the investigation is still underway and they’re asking anyone with information or video from the scene to contact them.

It’s not clear whether the incident was related to the mass celebration.

A 51 Division spokesperson said multiple people were arrested in connection with the shooting.

The TTC also confirmed that a customer had set off fireworks in the subway at Bay Station soon after the game ended and caused a 14-minute delay in service. The transit agency said no one was injured.

While most of the massive crowds in Toronto were boisterous but well behaved, others damaged two police cruisers trapped on one street and a transit bus on another.
