Peel Regional Police say the shot was fired after two men began fighting at the Fuel Lounge at 1565 Dundas St. E. at around 2:50 a.m.
When the security guard at the club intervened and pulled the two men apart in an attempt to end the fight, one of the combatants pulled out a gun and fired two shots, both of which hit the bouncer.
The man with the gun ran to the parking lot, firing two more shots into the air. He got behind the wheel of a black Mercedes and discharged his gun into the air two more times as he drove off.
The other man involved in the fight fled the scene on foot.
The bouncer was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for his wounds, which are not considered life-threatening.
The armed suspect is described as a black man, about 19 with short hair that was either shaved or in tiny corn rows. He wore a dark hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
