Toronto police appeal for info after woman found on fire in tent in south Etobicoke
Toronto police are working to piece together exactly what happened after being called to an abandoned property in south Etobicoke for reports of an assault and finding a woman on fire inside a tent in a nearby laneway.
The incident happened on Tuesday in the New Toronto neighbourhood, near Lake Shore Boulevard West and Eighth Street.
Toronto police said a passerby called 911 and they were dispatched to that area just before 10:40 a.m. for reports of a dispute in that area involving a male and a female.''
''Paramedics told CP24 they transported a woman to the hospital with severe, life-threatening injuries.
The duty inspector said police are looking to speak with a woman who was seen walking away from the area at the time of the fire, which he noted “appears suspicious.”
“We’re working to determine who she is and whether she may have information that could help us understand what occurred here today,” Wallace said.''
