  "summary": "Toronto Police made two arrests on Monday night during a demonstration in downtown Toronto, specifically in the area of McCaul Street and Dundas Street West around 9:30 p.m. According to police, a small group of protestors deliberately blocked the road, impeding officers and police vehicles. The first arrest occurred when a woman ignored repeated directions to clear the road. During this arrest, a second woman allegedly assaulted the arresting officer and attempted to interfere with the arrest. As a result, Shelly Agius, 44, was charged with mischief – interfering with the lawful enjoyment of property and obstructing a police officer. Lily Phan, 49, was also arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer and assaulting a peace officer. Both women are set to appear in court on December 11.",
