Peel Regional Police say a man is in custody after a suspected meth lab explosion inside a Brampton apartment last night.

The incident occurred on the 16th floor of an apartment building located at 2 Silver Maple Court, near Dixie Road and Queen Street East.

Const. Lilly Fitzpatrick said the resident of the unit was attempting to manufacture crystal meth at the time of the explosion.

The suspect suffered burns to his arms and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. He has since been released and will be appearing in court for a bail hearing this morning.

Gurjeet Kajla, 31, has been charged with mischief endangering life and production of a controlled substance.
