Toronto police did in one night what Hollywood cops couldn't do in an entire movie (not to mention multiple sequels): stop the Terminator. CBC reports someone called 911 Wednesday night about a person with a gun. Police secured the area before realizing there was no threat. "Police on scene have located a Terminator cutout holding a gun. #IllBeBack," the Toronto Police Department tweeted. According to CityNews, the man with a gun turned out to be an impressively shoddy mannequin of Arnold Schwarzenegger from The Terminator. Apparently someone moving out of a nearby building had left the mannequin behind. CityNews took possession of the troublesome Terminator. (More Terminator stories.)
