On horseback in downtown Ottawa Friday, Canadian law enforcement was recorded forcing their way through a crowd of protesters as part of the government’s response to ending the 22-day protest against Canada’s Covid-19 restrictions.

Protesters fled as police riding horses pushed over several members of the ‘Freedom Convoy’ as part of a crowd-dispersal unit, according to The New York Times. The captured video appears to show the mounted officers knocking members of the convoy as they make their way through the thick crowd.

Law enforcement acting under new powers given to them by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after invoking the Emergencies Act, began clearing out downtown, according to The New York Times. The 1988 Emergencies Act replaced Canada’s War Measures Act after Justin Trudeau’s father, former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, used the war act against protesters in 1970, The New York Times reported.

The Ottawa Police Service announced they arrested 70 protesters and towed 21 vehicles during the round-up.
