Toronto police are searching for a man who allegedly set off fireworks at the Scotiabank Center during Dua Lipa’s concert last week.
The incident happened on July 27, Wednesday, around 11:30 p.m
Police say a man attended an arena concert and set off “uncontrolled” fireworks into the crowd, injuring three people.
Videos on social media showed several rounds of colorful fireworks being launched into the concert venue from what appeared to be the back of the floor level.
Police said on July 30 they executed a search warrant at a home near Jane Street and Weston Road and allegedly seized a quantity of explosives.
Nam Thon, 29, Toronto, is wanted for mischief-endangering life.
He is described as five foot six tall with a medium build and collar-length dark hair.
The suspect may be driving a white Honda CRV with license plate CTYV 147.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-5200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.222tips.com.
The English pop singer has since taken to social media to condemn the dangerous incident.
