Toronto police say a man accused of a random assault and making threats against strangers with a sledgehammer has turned himself over to police.
They say the 35-year-old Toronto man is facing 14 charges that include five counts of assault with a weapon and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
Police say on Nov. 16 at about 4 p.m., a man who was walking his dog at a park was chased by a driver who got out of his vehicle with a sledgehammer.
They say that about 15 minutes later, a woman who was standing on the street reported a man wielding a sledgehammer and shouting at her.
Police also say that on Oct. 29, a man allegedly brandished a flare, a handgun and long-bladed knife after pulling up to another vehicle and making threats.
Police further allege that in May 2017, a man intentionally swerved his vehicle into a motorcyclist on the Don Valley Parkway, striking him and running over him once more as he lay on the ground.
