Toronto police are searching for Daly David, 40, who is wanted for several counts of theft, assault, and uttering threats. Toronto police are looking for a man wanted in connection with multiple instances of alleged extortion, assault, and uttering threats over the course of May and June.

They say the suspect met with a second victim in the Yonge Street and Blythwood Road area after contacting them on a social media hook up app, revealed that he is an escort and demanded money. When the victim could not pay, the suspect threatened to damage their property, assaulted and choked the victim, and then fled with some of the victim's belongings.

Ottawa man camping with child dies after tree falls on his tent at Mallorytown campsite
An Ottawa man is dead and his 10-year old child has been injured after a large tree fell on their tent in a Mallorytown, Ont., campsite early Sunday morning, police say. Emergency services responded to the campsite after receiving reports shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said in a news release Monday evening. Employees of the campground called police after the child came looking for help, OPP Const. Joey Mason said in an interview. "We were able to confirm that the child's father was still in the tent and had actually been struck by this tree. There were no vital signs when [he was] assessed by EMS," he said. "It is a tragedy, and the OPP's thoughts are with the family." The child sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The Office of the Chief Coroner will conduct a postmortem into the death. Mallorytown is located about 60 kilometres east of Kingston. A severe thunderstorm tore through large parts of eastern Ontario Saturday night.
