Members of Toronto police's emergency task force have taken one man into custody as they continue to search buildings at the University of Toronto after receiving reports of a suspicious person on campus.
Officers walked a man out of the university's faculty of law building and put him in a cruiser in handcuffs Monday morning.
Police say that security at the university made the first report after seeing someone wearing a mask in a building under construction at 6 Hoskin Ave.

Police also received another report of a person with a gun in the area, and are trying to determine whether that was a police officer or a suspicious person.
University Avenue and Queen's Park Crescent are closed from Bloor Street to Hoskin Avenue for the search and the following University of Toronto buildings are closed as well:
Falconer Hall: 84 Queen's Park
Faculty of Law: 78 Queen's Park
Trinity College: 6 Hoskin Avenue
Faculty of Music: Edward Johnson Building, 80 Queen's Park
Munk School of Global Affairs: 1 Devonshire Place
Gerald Larkin Building: 15 Devonshire Place
Varsity Centre: 299 Bloor Street West
All Victoria University building
The university asks that no one enter those buildings, and if you are in any of those buildings to remain in place "until an all-clear is called."
Even though one man is now in custody, police say that the search is not over and all road closures remain in effect.
