The incident happened last week at Scotiabank Arena.
Dua Lipa's Toronto concert last week was a bit more explosive than planned after unsanctioned fireworks were shot into the crowd, injuring attendees.
Toronto Police Service (TPS) has identified 29-year-old Nam Ton of Toronto as a suspect in the incident and is asking the public to help find him.
Police report the man attended the concert on July 27 at Scotiabank Arena and that he "set off a number of uncontrolled fireworks within the crowd," according to a press release.
