However, several people began setting fires and breaking windows of businesses and cars around 9pm.

Stéfanie Trudeau, also known as Agent #728, was convicted of assault, and using excessive force during an arrest she made three years ago.

According to the Montreal Gazette, Trudeau was a supervising constable who had been training a new recruit when she arrested and attacked two men for holding an open bottle of beer in public.

Prosecutors also made it clear that even if Trudeau had cause to arrest the men, the amount of force she had used against them was illegal.

The case returns to court on Tuesday.
