TORONTO — Toronto police say four Occupy Toronto protesters are under arrest following their eviction from a camp near city hall on Friday afternoon.
Police say the four are to appear in court Saturday facing charges that include obstructing police and possession of marijuana.
Several dozen people staged a brief protest outside the downtown police station on Friday night demanding the release of the four.
Following the protest, the group began marching through downtown streets and a police spokeswoman says one more person has been arrested.
Occupy Toronto says two people were injured when they were — in the words of the protesters - “brutally beaten” while being arrested during the eviction.
Occupy Toronto says a woman was punched in the face and was treated for an eye injury at St. Michael’s Hospital and add that a man was under police guard while he was treated at Toronto General.
