Toronto police urged demonstrators to follow the law ahead of planned protests related to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict on Friday.

Deputy Chief Lauren Pogue said demonstrations inside private property, such as malls, and those that block critical infrastructure, such as highways and bridges, are not legal. She said people can be arrested at the event or in the days after if they cross the line from lawful demonstration to criminality.

Police announced this week that they had launched an investigation into an exchange between a demonstrator and another person during a pro-Palestinian protest at a busy Toronto mall last Sunday.

Pogue says that Toronto has seen 250 protests since Oct.7 and that police will be "visibly present" at demonstrations planned over the coming days.

Global's Sean O'Shea has the details.
