Two children at the park were transported to hospital as a precaution but were not injured, according to an Ottawa paramedic spokesperson.
Luis Pitrose lives nearby and said he heard a scream.

"Literally 10, 15 minutes, we walked in the front and we saw the police tape and the cop cars. It was just a wild scene. You feel for the kids the most. Thank God that the kids weren't harmed."
