One person was arrested in in the area of Westmount Road East and Ottawa Street South at around 1:30 p.m. Police say that officers used “distraction devices” in the arrest, causing noise in the area.
A resident in the area says he heard what sounded like a sonic boom at the time.
Several police cruisers were seen in the plaza, as well as a vehicle with at least two of its windows smashed out.
