A man who caused a disruption at an on-campus restaurant was arrested by Toronto police March 22.
The accused arrived at Blueberry Hill in York Lanes at approximately 8 p.m. and spent the majority of two hours’ time in the men’s restroom, which was later found to have been flooded. Police were called to the scene after both the restaurant owners and York security were unsuccessful in making the man leave the washroom.
The accused was escorted out by Toronto police around 10 p.m. and later was charged with mischief. As they escorted the accused out of the restaurant, he appeared to be soaked in water.
“He seemed very apologetic,” says one of the owners. “He wasn’t threatening anyone. We were just worried about what would happen if other students did approach him.”
Employees went around the restaurant shortly after the incident, informing customers that the men’s restroom was out of order.
Toronto police say they cannot release the name of the person, or even whether the person was a York student.
