A Toronto senior who had been missing for more than two days was spotted by a crossing guard in Leslieville Thursday afternoon, Toronto police said.
At 4:15 p.m., the crossing guard at Carlaw and Eastern avenues saw 76-year-old Norman walking and flagged a passing police cruiser after recognizing him.
“Police were alerted to him. They attended to him and confirmed his identity and that he’s in good health,” Insp. Jeff Bangild told reporters Thursday evening.
“He was treated by emergency medical services at the scene.”
Bangild added that Norman was fatigued, but doing okay. After being checked, the senior was brought to the command post in the area of Victoria Avenue and York Mills Road, where he was reunited with his family.
