Tensions are rising at Etobicoke's Adamson BBQ as protests continue for the third day in a row.
Police officers, several of which are on horseback, have lined the perimeter of the restaurant in an attempt to keep demonstrators from entering.
However, Adam Skelly was able to break into the restaurant by smashing through the drywall in an adjacent room. He then opened the restaurant door from the inside and patrons were able to force their way in past police.*
Police have arrested Skelly and escorted him away from the scene.
