Tamil protesters clash briefly with police

Tamil protesters briefly clashed with police during a demonstration on University AvenueFriday evening, after a barricade between them and a chain of officers collapsed under pressure.

The evening-long Tamil demonstration erupted when protesters broke down a police barrier in an effort to take over University Ave., near Toronto’s U.S. Consulate. A chain of armed police officers were able to keep the crowd from spilling onto the roadway and replaced the barrier.
