Toronto police say they are monitoring a pro-Palestinian protest blocking railway lines in the city.
The group told CP24 they have set up at a railway line at Osler Street and Pelham Avenue near The Junction and plan to stay there for hours.
Toronto police said they are on the scene monitoring the protest, and no arrests have been made so far. They added that there are about 100 to 120 demonstrators.
Metrolinx said there have been no disruptions to its services because of the protests. In a brief statement, a spokesperson for CP Rail said, “We are aware of the protest and in contact with local authorities.”
Police say road closures are in effect because of the protest. Osler Street is closed from Cariboo Avenue to Linder Street, while Pelham Avenue is closed at Uxbridge.
