A man has been arrested amid Toronto demonstrations in solidarity with the ongoing trucker convoy protests in Ottawa, police say.
In a tweet at around 2:15 pm, on Saturday, Toronto police said a man was arrested on the north side of Queen’s Park.
Hundreds of protesters have gathered in the city’s downtown core on Saturday as part of ongoing demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions and the federal government.
Officers said the 22-year-old man was arrested for assault with a weapon, for administering a smoke bomb and for public mischief.
“The public is reminded to please avoid the demonstration areas,” the tweet read.
