Seven officers were injured on Saturday night after an altercation in the Eglinton and Oakwood area. Four of the Toronto police officers were treated in hospital for their injuries.

Police say an altercation occurred just before 8 p.m. on Saturday, at the same time and place that a peaceful protest to support Black-owned businesses was ongoing.

Those involved in the incident are not believed to have been part of the peaceful protest, police say.
