altercation broke out between a protester and police at a pro-Palestinian rally Sunday afternoon outside the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, leading to an arrest. Afterwards, thousands of protesters from two separate rallies converged on 52 Division at University Ave. and Dundas St. to demand his immediate release.

The Star observed a police officer on foot appearing to use his bicycle to ram the bicycle of a woman standing in front of him. It was not clear what instigated the action. 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
