Revelers throw bottles and cans at police

Officers were called out after a large crowd started gathering in the Ainslie Woods areas of the city around 12:30 yesterday afternoon.

Police say by 2 pm the crowd had grown to about 5,000 forcing officers to close several streets.

During the street party, a car was overturned and street signs were damaged in the area of Dalewood and Westwood.

Police are reviewing video and images from the event and are appealing for help identifying one of the culprits, in the posted picture,  who is accused of overturning the car. 

Some of the attendees also hurled glass bottles, cans and other objects at officers and damaged one cruiser in the melee.

Police say they will be releasing additional images in the hopes of identifying more individuals.
