Peel police and crisis negotiators were on scene Friday as a person reportedly barricaded themselves in Mississauga.
There is a heavy police presence near the corner of Eglinton Avenue West and Erin Mills Parkway.
According to a series of tweets from police, the incident is an "isolated" one and the situation is ongoing.
Police have closed nearby roads, including Credit Valley Road from Eglinton Avenue to Metcalfe Street. Erin Mills Parkway is also closed north and south of the intersection with Eglinton.
The public is being asked to avoid the area.
