Toronto police say a man was taken into custody outside Drake's Bridle
Path mansion Wednesday afternoon after he tried to gain access to the
residence.
A CP24 camera captured the man being handcuffed and led away by
officers to a cruiser. Police said he was apprehended under the Mental
Health Act.
A significant police presence remains at the affluent North York
neighbourhood as the investigation continues into the early Tuesday
morning shooting that critically injured a security guard.

The shooting occurred amid a rap beef between Drake and California
rapper Kendrick Lamar. The two released several diss tracks aimed at
each other over the weekend, which included unsubstantiated
allegations and personal insults.
One of the tracks released by Lamar, titled "Not Like Us," features a
Google Maps image of Drake's Bridle Path mansion.
Toronto police have said they have not established a motive behind the
shooting, and it was too early to tell if is connected to the feud.
