Protesters in Ottawa are standing face-to-face with police officers as the day-long standoff stretches into the night, with more streets still to clear.

In the slow push to take back occupied streets in the nation's capital, the line of confrontation between police and protesters now hums in front of the Senate of Canada building.

Police have said protesters are assaulting police officers and police horses during efforts to end the three-week occupation in downtown Ottawa.

 

Officers were seen Friday moving along Colonel By Drive, Sussex Drive, Mackenzie Avenue and Rideau and Wellington streets in "public order units" arresting protesters and towing vehicles.

The latest count of those arrested sits at more than 100 people, according to local police. That's an increase of 30 from the last update given at about 4 p.m. A total of 21 vehicles have been towed.
