Police in Edmonton say after authorities withdrew a permit for an Eritrean event due to safety concerns, an altercation broke out at another site and multiple people were injured.
Police say they attended a demonstration in the city’s west end on Saturday in relation to the Eritrean festival that was scheduled to take place in a field in that area.
