Police called to do crowd control after Drake’s massive ice sculpture draws hundreds

Published: 

Drake’s publicity stunt to announce the release date for his new album ‘Iceman’ has prompted a police response on Dundas and Bond Street.

Toronto police say officers from three different divisions were called to do crowd control after hundreds of people showed up to view and climb a massive ice sculpture constructed to tease the release of Drake’s new album.

Drake previously confirmed that the release date for his album ‘Iceman’ is buried within the huge ice block, located near Dundas and Bond streets in the city’s downtown core.

At around 12:30 a.m., police were called to the area for reports of people on top of the ice block.

Firefighters were called in to assist and as many as 800 people were at the scene, police told CP24.

No injuries were reported.
