An 18-year-old Toronto man faces a long list of charges allegedly threatening violence at an Orléans health clinic last month.
Police were called to a medical clinic in the 1200 block of Place d’Orléans Drive due to a report of threats of violence.
“The clinic took the threats very seriously and closed, sending all staff home,” police said in a release.
The clinic closed and was opened the following day with added security measures. Over the next week, the clinic received more than 300 threats by email or fax.
