Toronto police made one arrest while clearing the anti-Israel encampment set up on York university grounds, according to a media statement.

The encampment was set up in the early hours of Wednesday in the Harry W. Arthurs Common area of Keele campus, near the York University subway station. 

The university said it served a notice of trespass Thursday morning to those who set up the encampment and requested police assistance “to ensure the safety of all concerned.”

“They were informed by the Community Safety team that any unauthorized use of campus grounds is a violation of university policies and that encampments or occupations are not permitted,” the administration’s said in a statement.

While about 40 protesters “left as directed,” one person returned and was subsequently arrested for trespassing, Toronto Police stated. 

Video shared on social media showed more than a dozen police officers attempting to remove protesters from the encampment.
