A child is in the hospital after emergency crews responded to a medical call in Scarborough on Tuesday morning, with Toronto police now leading the investigation and a woman, the child’s mother, in custody.
Paramedics were called to 381 Port Royal Trail, a home near Brimley Road and Steeles Avenue East, around 9:40 a.m. on Tuesday for reports of a patient in cardiac arrest.
EMS transported the patient to the hospital in critical condition, but said they could not release the patient’s age, gender, or confirm whether the case involved a child.
Toronto police later confirmed to 680 NewsRadio that the victim is a child around two years old, who remained in critical condition at SickKids Hospital as of late Tuesday night. A police source told 680 NewsRadio the child’s mother is in custody.
No additional details about the circumstances leading to the medical emergency have been released. Police have not said whether charges are pending or what prompted the call to the home.
The investigation remains ongoing.
