It wasn't a perpetrator, it was The Terminator.

Last night at about 9 p.m., police in Toronto received a call about a person with a gun at the corner of Grange and Augusta avenues.

When police arrived, they discovered that what prompted the call was actually what appears to be a mannequin of Arnold Schwarzenegger's character from the 1984 science-fiction movie The Terminator, about an android assassin from the future.

Police secured the area before determining there was no threat.

They then tweeted: "Police on scene have located a Terminator cutout holding a gun" and followed that up with a hastag of the main character's famous catchphrase: #I'llBeBack.
