The Toronto chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), which helped organize the Sunday rally in downtown Toronto, said in a statement that an "attendee was brutalized and arrested" at the event.

A previous video shared on social media on the weekend showed an officer kneeling on a 32-year-old man's neck and head area, although the newly-released video shows a clearer vantage of the arrest.

The PYM also said in a statement that police officers restraining someone this way reflects "violent tactics used by police across the world."

Toronto police have charged the man who was arrested with assaulting and obstructing a peace officer.
