Nine people have been transported to hospital after police say a fight broke out at a park in Toronto's west end Saturday morning.
Eight of the people have non-life-threatening injuries while one person has serious injuries after being stabbed, police said in a tweet. Police did not say how the eight people were injured.
Police say the incident appears to have been a demonstration that turned violent in Earlscourt Park off St. Clair Avenue West. A large crowd and fight in the park was first reported by police in a tweet around 10 a.m. Saturday.
Police did not say what the demonstration was.
In a statement on Twitter, Alejandra Bravo, city councillor for the area, said violence broke out during a "political protest of a festival."
Bravo said the park and some local roads have been closed to traffic.
She said she is "shocked and saddened" to hear what happened.
