Police have issued a public safety alert after a sick coyote was spotted near the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus.

The coyote was seen in the Military Trail and Morningside Avenue area on Tuesday.

Police say that the coyote appears to be suffering from a skin disease known as mange and may also suffer from a brain disease.

As a result of those conditions, police say that they believe the coyote could be dangerous to the public if approached.

Police are urging anyone who spots the coyote to contact 3-1-1 immediately.
