Toronto Police are investigating what they believe was an elaborate prank, after a burned-out car was found dangling from a bridge during the Wednesday morning rush hour.

The unusual sight of a blue sedan suspended from the underside of the Leaside Bridge drove much speculation online and from police themselves, who originally believed it was part of a movie shoot.

But Const. Victor Kwong, who made the call to 911 during his morning commute, says police have now opened a “public mischief investigation” and charges could be laid.

“I was carpooling into work, and a passenger — actually it was my mother-in-law — was looking into the treed area of the Don River, and she noticed a car dangling there,” said Kwong.

“I looked around, and sure enough it was there.”
