ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Early news reports said a man was seen going into the washroom with explosives strapped to his chest. Police would not confirm the reports.

Employees and witnesses were questioned by police about what they had seen."

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "The police bomb squad worked at the scene for much of the afternoon. They used a remote controlled bomb disposal robot to investigate an object found nearby.

Yonge Street was shut down in both directions between Yorkville and Bloor, reportedly tying up traffic around one of the city's busiest intersections.

There is no word yet on what caused the blast. Once police declare the scene to be safe the fire marshal's office will begin an investigation.

Later Sunday, another Tim Hortons outlet in Toronto was locked down after a suspicious package was found inside the restaurant, just a few subway stations north of where the explosion occurred.

Few details were immediately available, but police confirmed an emergency task force unit had been dispatched to the second location and the area had been evacuated.
