Investigators are trying to figure out how a 45-year-old man in a mobility scooter fell three floors down an elevator shaft in downtown Toronto on Thursday.
Emergency officials were called to an apartment building at Dundas Street West and University Avenue around 10:30 a.m., where they found a man lying at the bottom of the elevator shaft. Scraps of the shattered scooter were strewn over his body.
“We heard this horrible grinding this morning and I was like, ’What was that? And I went into the hallway and I could hear yelling, screaming,” Miller, who called 911, told CTV Toronto.“It was really hard because my daughter and I are holding the elevator doors open so the alarms are going off, he’s screaming, his girlfriend is screaming,” Miller said.
The Toronto Community Housing Corporation, which owns the building, blamed the incident on “vandalism” that happened on the same day. TCHC did not clarify the nature of the vandalism.
