A Brampton man has been arrested and charged with assault with a weapon following a protest outside the Hindu Sabha Mandir on The Gore Road earlier this week.
The 35-year-old man is the second person to be arrested in connection with the protest. On Wednesday police arrested a 57-year-old Toronto man who has been charged with publicly inciting hatred.
Peel Regional Police say they responded to an altercation during a demonstration at the Mandir on Nov. 3.
As tensions between opposing sides increased, the demonstrations became physical and assaultive, police said in a news release on Saturday.
Police say they began investigating several offences that occurred during the demonstration, many of which were captured on video; including individuals using flags and sticks to assault people.
Police say the 35-year-old man was arrested on Friday. He was released on conditions and is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date.
