Provincial police are warning the public to be on the lookout for an armed man who allegedly fired shots at multiple vehicles along Highway 401 on Tuesday morning.

Police say they've obtained an arrest warrant for a 29-year-old Toronto man who allegedly shot at more than 10 cars travelling on the highway in Mississauga just after 5 a.m.

They say no serious injuries were reported.

Police allege the suspect stole a vehicle from a passing motorist before fleeing the area and was last seen in Etobicoke.

Police have released the suspect's name and photo, and they are asking anyone with information to contact investigators.

They say the suspect is considered armed and dangerous, and they're warning the public to not approach if they see him.
