![Screenshot of CTV news article that says:
Concordia University has closed its downtown Montreal campus, cancelling classes and labs, on Tuesday after a small group of protestors disrupted classes and a midterm exam on Monday.
“We took this exceptional measure to protect our entire community,” said Graham Carr, the university’s president and vice-chancellor.
“In the last two years, we have seen protests on campus, but have never been forced to enact such preventive measures.”
But Carr says “that changed yesterday [Monday] after two individuals were arrested.”
“One of those arrested was later discovered to be in possession of a metal bar and several incendiary devices,” he said. “Neither of these individuals are members of the Concordia community.”
Montreal police (SPVM) would not confirm Concordia’s claims of the presence of a metal bar or incendiary devices.
However, the force noted that two people were arrested on campus after classes were interrupted.
“One person was arrested for starting a fire alarm, so [a potential charge of] mischief,” said Raphaël Bergeron, a spokesperson with Montreal police. “Another person was arrested for assault.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:af3m5so7rawuxqy6vqpd2ise/bafkreialiak4atrzpbghedj66wctquc2gdofeov3cbcusfgyew7pou7qmm)
