A worker is fighting for his life in hospital after reportedly being electrocuted in North York earlier today.

It happened in the area of Yonge Street and Olive Avenue at around 3 p.m.

Toronto police said a man was walking with a metal pole when the pole came in contact with some wires.

According to witnesses at the scene, the man was washing windows when he got too close to a hydro wire.

Toronto police said Monday evening that the man’s injuries are considered life-threatening.

The Ministry of Labour is now investigating the incident.
