"I felt I have to do my duty as a Canadian citizen, and this is what I did," said Rashead, a 15-year taxi veteran.

Mohammad Rashead says he was flagged down by a passenger with "suspicious demands."

Scott Jones, 56, carries a court-designated "dangerous offender" designation.

Keith Vidalin awoke Thursday morning to find his pickup truck, which has Texas licence plates, spray painted with messages including "USA," "Pro Trump" and obscenities.

According to police, a wounded man approached officers and said he'd been stabbed following a verbal confrontation with another man in the square. 

"I was shocked, quite honestly, about the proposal to remove Centennial Square from the prohibited list of sites," said Lisa Helps, Friday.

The mural is the work of 17 artists and is meant to raise awareness of injustices suffered by Black and Indigenous people and others. It has been in place for about two weeks.

Police said they located the animal curled up under a vehicle.
