A man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after he was hit in the head with an object while being robbed in the city’s east end late Friday night.

The man was walking home along Denton Avenue near Victoria Park and Danforth avenues just before 11 p.m. when he was approached by two suspects who demanded that he hand over his valuables, police say.

As the man handed over his property, police allege that one of the suspects struck him in the head with an object.

The incident was initially reported as a shooting, however Insp. Peter Moreira told CP24 at the scene that there is “no evidence suggesting” that a firearm was used.

No suspect descriptions have been released.
