Toronto police arrested an activist on Wednesday, who was alleged to have smashed a glass door during the storming of a building hosting a lecture by IDF veterans, the sixth anti-Israel activist to have been charged in relation to the incident last Wednesday.
Qabil Ibrahim allegedly used a tool, a drill bit, according to the hosting group Students Supporting Israel (SSI), Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), to shatter an interior glass door being braced shut by one of the guest lecturers.
The veteran suffered wounds to his arms from the broken glass.
The veteran pushed the activists out of the building and barricaded the main entrance with chairs. The masked 26-year-old activist left the building during the demonstration but was identified during a Toronto Police investigation.
The suspect was charged with forcible entry, assault, unlawful assembly while masked, property damage, and interference.

The Toronto Police Service said last Wednesday that it had arrested and charged five people for forcible entry and that one of the suspects assaulted an officer in an attempt to prevent an arrest.
Oakville resident Nicole Baiton and Toronto residents Kiana Alexis and Fatimah Mugni were charged with forcible entry and unlawful assembly.
The 25-year-old Baiton and 22-year-old Alexis were also charged alongside Toronto resident Manal Kamran for obstruction of an officer. Toronto resident Chelsea Wu was charged for assaulting and obstructing an officer.
The Students for Justice in Palestine TMU chapter, which had called for protests against the veteran lecturer, claimed that when law enforcement arrived, they shoved and hit protesters outside the building with batons before following them into a subway station to pin them to the ground and arrest them.
The wounded IDF veteran was taken to the hospital for treatment and has since returned to Israel.
