Sharp-shinned hawk in my East York front yard

Hey,
this was really strange. we were out with some friends today and were dropped off at my East York house at 4 PM. we were in the car talking and i suddenly saw something big fly out of the neighbour's evergreens. it landed in our 6-foot-tall bush that's right beside our front steps.
it was a large hawk that had a robin-red breast. (thanks to the post below, its likely a sharp-shinned hawk)
it lingered for 10 seconds or so and then quickly flew behind out house (east) and i lost sight of where it went.

*post edited to change hawk type*

Red chest and dark head sounds more like Cooper's or Sharp-shinned, which would be more likely in the city too.
