Sunday night, about 6:30, there was a 9-1-1 call from a Queen Street address in the north end. AMR sent an ambulance and they later called police. The man who called to the paramedics he was lonely and wanted them to stay and visit. When they said they couldn’t, he offered them $20 worth of change to stay.
