Intense Video Shows Moment Toronto Police Take Down Suspected Raptors Parade Shooter

TORONTO, CAN. (THECOUNT) — A newly released video shows the moment several Toronto Police officers took down one of the suspected shooters at Monday’s Toronto Raptors championship parade.

The intense video shows officers reigning down punches on the suspect, reports TMZ on Tuesday.

The Toronto Raptors championship parade in Canada was marred after someone reportedly opened fired on the crowd.

The party came to a screeching halt just before 1 PM PT — when people in the crowd heard what sounded like 4 gunshots.

A woman was reportedly hurt and paramedics raced to the scene.

The Toronto Police Operations Center put out a statement saying, “SHOOTING: Nathan Phillip’s Square -Reports of woman shot -People running from area,” reports TMZ.

At one point in the video, Raptors play-by-play announcer Matt Devlin grabbed the mic and told the crowd to stay strong and stay calm while officials respond to the “emergency.”

The footage starts showing a man dressed in black trying to run — but two bike cops grab the dude — who appears to be holding a weapon … and wrestle him to the ground.

Several cops in the area quickly realize what’s going on and jump in on the action — piling on top of the suspect while trying to neutralize the weapon.

At one point, one of the officers begins reigning down punches on the suspect.

You can hear some of the cops trying to clear the area — screaming at people to “Get outta here!!!”

There’s more footage that has surfaced from earlier in the parade — in which you can clearly hear at least 4 gunshots pop off near crowds of people.
