Protesters accuse Toronto police officer of kneeling on man's neck during arrest

The Toronto chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), which helped organize the Sunday rally in downtown Toronto, said in a statement that an "attendee was brutalized and arrested" at the event.

A previous video shared on social media on the weekend showed an officer kneeling on a 32-year-old man's neck and head area, although the newly-released video shows a clearer vantage of the arrest.

The PYM also said in a statement that police officers restraining someone this way reflects "violent tactics used by police across the world."

Toronto police have charged the man who was arrested with assaulting and obstructing a peace officer.
