TORONTO — Police have charged a man with multiple offences, including attempted murder, after he allegedly shot at officers in east Toronto.

Toronto police say they were attempting to arrest a man on Tuesday when he allegedly pulled out a firearm and began shooting at officers.

They allege he then ran into his home and continued firing shots at officers through a side door, hitting a police car and a neighbour's house. 

Investigators say the man surrendered to police after more than two hours of negotiations – there were no physical injuries related to the shooting. 

Police say a 35-year-old man from Toronto faces several charges, including three counts of attempted murder and three counts of discharging a firearm with intent. 

He appeared in court in Toronto on Wednesday morning.
