Four of the Occupy Toronto protesters appeared in court today after they were arrested during a clash with police on University Avenue Friday night.
Police have said that was the second time they had asked the protesters to remove their tents and gear. When they did not comply police said they had to forcibly remove them.
The two men and two women are facing a number of charges including: obstructing a peace officer, possession of marijuana and assault with intent to resist arrest.
A fifth was arrested in the evening after dozens of people rallied outside a police station demanding the release of the four.
Some protesters said they would be at City Hall Saturday to show support for those arrested.
Several dozen people staged a brief protest outside Toronto police 52 division demanding the release of the four.
