Demonstrators surround Justin Trudeau at Vancouver restaurant

One hundred Vancouver police officers were sent to a restaurant where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was dining Tuesday night after protestors surrounded it chanting calls for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

One man was arrested for assaulting an officer and another for obstruction as social media videos depicted protestors waving Palestinian flags while shouting slogans outside the restaurant in Vancouver’s Chinatown.

Police say that officers were sent for crowd control to allow for Trudeau to leave the establishment just before 10 p.m.

Sgt. Steve Addison says a 27-year-old man from Coquitlam, B.C. was arrested after an officer was punched in the face and had her eyes gouged while she attempted to disperse the crowd.

That officer was subsequently taken to the hospital.

Videos from earlier that evening showed a similar scene of protestors outside another restaurant Trudeau attended in a different part of the city.
