What one won't do for the "perfect shot"?



The Canadian Press

TORONTO — A pedestrian trying to snap some pre-dawn photos of the Toronto skyline while leaning on the rails of the Gardiner Expressay has been arrested.

Toronto police received several calls about a man who had walked onto the Gardiner Expressway, perched himself onto the guardrail of the elevated roadway, and started snapping pictures.

Police say drivers were concerned because the man was stepping in and out of traffic.

When officers arrived on scene, the man told police everyone had pictures of the skyline from over the bridges and that he wanted something extra.

Traffic Services Const. Hugh Smith says it's fortunate no one was injured considering that vehicles travel between 80 to 120 kilometres per hour on the expressway.

The man was arrested and released a short time later with two tickets in hand.
