Classes Cancelled At Quebec University After Vandalism And Clashes With Cops

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Apr, 2015 11:10 AM

MONTREAL — Classes in a building at a downtown Montreal university are cancelled for the day after students occupied it for several hours and ended up clashing with police.

Students used various objects to block access to the building before police entered by making a huge hole in a window at the Universite du Quebec's downtown J.-A.-DeSeve pavilion.

Some of the students then attacked police cruisers, tossed garbage cans into the street and ripped up flower beds.

Police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the students.

The decision to occupy the building came after the university asked police to enforce an injunction aimed at ensuring classes would go ahead as normal.

They were also protesting the arrest of 22 people earlier in the day.
