Investigators allege the man approached four women at a dog park in downtown Toronto, near Bay Street and Queens Quay, where he posed as a surgeon at a local hospital and offered them cosmetic procedures out of his home.

Police say the women went to the man's home and received what they believed were injections of Salmon DNA, a skin treatment, along with Botox, a wrinkle-reducing shot, and Ozempic, a diabetes medication used off-label for weight loss. 

The women became suspicious of the man's behaviour and contacted police after learning he was not qualified to perform the procedures.

A police spokesperson says it's still unclear what substance the alleged injections contained, but none of the victims had to be taken to hospital. 

Police say they believe there may be additional victims.
