A 14-year old boy has been charged by Toronto police after an alleged carjacking on Sunday.

Police say the teen got into the back seat of a ride-share vehicle and demanded the car keys while pointing a gun at the driver.

They say the boy then shot the driver in the head with a pellet gun before the driver fled.

It didn't end there, as police add the boy chased the driver and then shot him again several times before fleeing.

The driver was taken to hospital, the boy arrested later that day.

Charges include robbery with a weapon and aggravated assault.
