Protester arrested at pro-Hamas rally in Toronto for allegedly assaulting police officer

A pro-Palestinian rally turned violent Sunday afternoon as police clashed with protesters outside the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, leading to at least one arrest.

The Star observed a police officer on foot ram his bicycle into the bicycle of a woman standing in front of him. The woman, who was holding her bicycle, fell over as the bike toppled. A man ran up after and shoved an officer to the ground in retaliation. Police then tackled, beat and arrested him.
