A Toronto police officer has pleaded guilty to assault more than two years after a man was shot in a Toronto park.

Const. Andrew Davis was originally charged with one count of aggravated assault and one count of discharging a firearm with intent to maim, wound, disfigure or endanger life following a Special Investigations Unit probe into the shooting of a 31-year-old man in February 2023.

According to an agreed statement of facts, that morning in February, an individual alerted police to a man near Trethewey and Black Creek drives with a knife and an off-leash dog, expressing fear he may harm the dog. As it came through to officers over dispatch, additional details suggested the man possibly had a knife in his coat and was interacting with another individual.
