Toronto police say an intoxicated man tripped and fell, smashing the front windows of an NDP candidate’s campaign office early Saturday morning.

It was intially reported that the man was taken into custody after a break-and-enter.

Police received multiple calls around 2:30 a.m. reporting that someone had destroyed the plate glass windows of an election campaign office in the area of Bloor St. W. and Dovercourt Rd. and had gone into the office.

When police arrived at Davenport NDP candidate Marit Stiles' office, what appeared to be a “break and enter” was still in progress, and they found the man, who police said had been drinking.

Police questioned the man, who said it was an accident.

“He’s claiming he tripped and fell through the window,” said Toronto police spokesperson Gary Long. “Broke the glass, got a cut to his arm, was taken to hospital.”

Long said the man was not arrested and no charges have been laid.

Stiles herself tweeted a response to the concerned citizen who posted photos of the incident, thanking her for “taking action.’

“We don’t know much yet,” the tweet reads, “but I wanted to thank you for stepping up.”
