A movie character made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger caused a gun scare in Toronto on Wednesday night.
Police tweeted at about 9 p.m. that they were responding to a call about a man seen with a gun in a neighbourhood near the downtown core.
The police tweet read: “Police on scene have located a Terminator cutout holding a gun.”
The tweet also included a nod to Schwarzenegger’s famous catchphrase with the added hashtag “IllBeBack.”
Police left the prop behind and all that was left was images of Schwarzenegger on the internet.
But, the ‘Terminator’ did come back. After hours of souring the neighbourhood dumpsters, CityNews cameraman Bert Dandy found the prop.
A man called Dandy over to an alleyway behind a home he was cleaning between 164 and 168 Grange Avenue. Apparently a tenant recently moved out from the area and left the prop behind.
