Café onlookers were horrified to watch a shooting unfold on the sidewalk in the midst of a busy bar scene in Toronto's Annex on Thursday night.

Sergeant Darren Worth said two people, a man and a woman, were shot at about 11 p.m. outside the By the Way Café at Brunswick Avenue and Bloor Street West: the man in the hand and the chest, the woman in the leg.

Marc Bijinelli, 21, was on his cellphone when he watched one person pull out a gun and fire four shots at a crowd of four to five walking south on Brunswick.
