MONTREAL — Police arrested 297 people Friday afternoon in downtown Montreal during the 17th annual anti-police brutality march.

All but 22 were ticketed for breaking municipal bylaws, including protesting while wearing a mask. Police said the rest will face criminal charges including assault, possession of incendiary material and obstructing police and disturbing the peace.

One person was arrested with a bag full of knives and what police said was ammunition.

Police in riot gear chased the 500 or so protesters through downtown streets and launched stun grenades to disperse the crowds.
