Hamilton police are looking for a masked protestor wanted for assault.
Two officers responded to a call near Tim Hortons Field just after noon on Saturday, where an event to promote new investment in Hamilton, “Try Hamlton”, was taking place . Officers saw a protester, who was wearing a handkerchief on his face, grab someone standing near tour buses. When police tried to arrest him they were grabbed by other masked protesters who ran off.
The protesters are against the new investment plan because they’re afraid it will reduce affordable housing in the city.
