Toronto police are hoping the public will be able to assist in identifying a suspect after a driver allegedly pulled a gun on a man and a woman after they asked him to slow down.

Police said they received a call at around 4 p.m. on Thursday for reports of a person with a gun in the area of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue.

Investigators said they later determined that a man driving a white four-door Mercedes Benz C class car was speeding through a residential area shortly before the call came in.

Police said a man and a woman asked the driver to slow down, at which point he allegedly pointed a gun at them and made threats before driving down Yonge Street.
