Footage from Ottawa, Ontario, shows a frightening moment as police on horseback pushed through a crowd of demonstrators protesting against COVID-19 rules.
Videos posted to social media Friday shows officers, wearing yellow jackets, riding horses through a gap in the throng of people gathered outside. However, between what appears to be a line of standing police on one side and a line of protesters on the other, the mounted units began to move closer and shove some of the demonstrators, knocking at least two to the ground — one man in a brown jacket and an elderly woman, using what appears to be a mobility scooter, in a red jacket.
Police on horses were making their way through the crowd and at points appeared to trample on some protestors. pic.twitter.com/AcAmwFuEEt We hear your concern for people on the ground after the horses dispersed a crowd. Anyone who fell got up and walked away. We're unaware of any injuries. A bicycle was thrown at the horse further down the line and caused the horse to trip. The horse was uninjured. pic.twitter.com/4AYiw1q3W0
