A 21-year-old Toronto man faces charges after shots were fired inside a packed club in the wee hours of Boxing Day morning.

No one was hit by the bullets, which flew at the Privilege nightclub on Peter St., near Richmond St., at about 12:30am Monday, but the incident forced the facility to be shut down while police investigated.

A suspect was nabbed a short time later following a short foot chase in the area.

Club security guards had ejected a man from the club earlier in the night, but he apparently returned with a friend. A scuffle ensued with other patrons before the gun was pulled.

Officers in the area heard the shots and rushed onto the scene, arresting a man exiting the bar.

Weapons and ammunition were recovered nearby.

Alex Madimenos faces several charges, including two counts of assault with a weapon.
