‘Multiple’ people arrested after demonstrators forced their way into downtown building, Toronto police say
- On Wednesday, students from Toronto were attacked while holding a private Students Supporting Israel event with Israel Defense Forces veterans at Toronto Metropolitan University, footage shows.
- Organizers say someone leaked the event location, which led members of the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at TMU to lead a mob chanting 'Free Palestine' and trying to breach the venue.
- Video shows a protester using a drill bit to shatter the door glazing, and three people were rushed to a local medical facility, with one needing stitches for severe cuts.
- Toronto police arrested five people and charged them with forcible entry, unlawful assembly and obstruction of a peace officer; the suspects are expected in court in early January 2026, and Toronto Metropolitan University condemned the aggression.
- This breach follows earlier Students for Justice in Palestine attempts this academic year and a near-raid at Pomona College last month, while a Toronto synagogue was vandalized for the tenth time and footage shows students blocking doors with heavy objects.
