TORONTO -- A knife-wielding man who was cutting himself was shot during a confrontation with police at a busy Scarborough mall Thursday.
Police responded to Agincourt Mall, in the north-east end of the city, around 4:45 p.m. after receiving a 911 call about a man who was cutting himself with "a large knife," police said.
"We received a call for man wielding a large knife, cutting his own throat and wrists at rear of the mall," Const. David Hopkinson said. "Officers responded and began speaking to the man and then shots were fired.
"We can't comment on what prompted the gunfire."
The shooting unfolded behind the WalMart near the loading docks.
Several area residents reportedly heard up to three gunshots.
The victim, believed to be a man in his 40s, was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Hopkinson confirmed Ontario's Special Investigations Unit is now investigating but he said he was unable to reveal any further details on the police-involved shooting because of the provincial police watchdog's involvement.
The SIU, which probes any serious injury or death involving police, could not immediately be reached for comment.
