Toronto police say they have arrested a suspect after a man allegedly threatened to shoot mayoral candidates, which prompted a debate to be cancelled and some leading contenders to pause their campaigns.
Police say a 29-year-old man from Toronto is in custody. They say investigators are also aware of an online threat and believe it’s linked to the same person.
