Two people have been arrested at a rally for Iran downtown on Saturday.
Officers arrested two males for assault and assault with a weapon around 2:30 p.m., according to a post from Toronto police on social media.
The “Rally for Justice” was organized by Hands Off Iran and the Muslim Community of the GTA to “build a strong, united presence against imperialist aggression and war.”

My $0.02:
Keep your hands to yourself while protesting, particularly when standing directly in front of police.
What was previously ignored by frontline officers is now being handled swiftly.… pic.twitter.com/R7Eyq70scj
