A pilot and a paramedic suffered mild eye injuries when a green laser was aimed at an ORNGE helicopter in downtown Toronto.
A report was filed with Toronto police and Transport Canada after the incident occurred on February 15th while the air ambulance was returning to Billy Bishop Airport after finishing a call at the Hospital for Sick Children.
The helicopter landed without incident, but the pilot and paramedic were taken to hospital for assessment.
ORNGE says its aircraft have been hit by five laser strikes this year, compared to just three in all of last year.
