Two men have been arrested and charged with murder after a man was fatally struck by the driver of a vehicle during an altercation in North York over the weekend, police say.

The incident happened on June 14 near Keele Street and Wilson Avenue.

Toronto police said they were called to that area at around 6 a.m. for reports of unknown trouble.

They say a group of people got into a fight in the area during which an adult male was assaulted and struck by a vehicle.

“Life-saving measures were performed; however, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene,” investigators said in a news release.
