Man Tear Gassed Into Submission After Standoff Closes Bloor & St. George During Afternoon Rush

CityNews: Man Tear Gassed Into Submission After Standoff Closes Bloor & St. George During Afternoon Rush: "It was the last thing shoppers, strollers and motorists expected to see in one of the busiest spots in the downtown core - heavily armed Emergency Task Force officers standing with guns drawn, aimed at a stopped cab.

It began at Bloor and St. George around 2:40pm, when a man hailed a taxi, got in and then told the driver he was carrying a bomb. The cabbie quickly departed the vehicle and alerted authorities, who took no chances and brought out the heavy artillery."
