A young child is in the hospital after emergency crews responded to a medical call in Scarborough on Tuesday morning, with Toronto police now leading the investigation and a woman, the child\u2019s mother, in custody.<\/p>\n

Paramedics were called to 381 Port Royal Trail, a home near Midland Avenue and Steeles Avenue East, around 9:40 a.m. on Tuesday for reports of a patient in cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

EMS transported the patient to the hospital in\u00a0critical condition, but said they could not release the patient\u2019s age, gender, or confirm whether the case involved a child.<\/p>\n

Toronto police later confirmed to 680 NewsRadio that the victim is a child around two years old, who remained in critical condition at SickKids Hospital as of late Tuesday night. Authorities said the child\u2019s mother is in custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cA female has been arrested, but the investigation is still ongoing, and the charge list is still being finalized. There is no further information available at this time,\u201d a police spokesperson stated.<\/p>\n

No additional details about the circumstances leading to the medical emergency have been released.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
