City of Toronto bylaw officers and police officers have clashed with protesters over people living in an encampment at Trinity Bellwoods Park.

“I’m just in complete disbelief. I’m shocked. I’ve never seen police being so aggressive before,” Coco White, who lived at the encampment before being removed by officers, told Global News Tuesday afternoon, adding friends were helping them relocate to a hotel temporarily.

Protesters could be heard chanting “who do you service, who do you protect?” and “let them stay” as police and bylaw officers pushed back against fences to keep crowds back.

Morganne Campbell reports.
