Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly will be providing an update Wednesday afternoon on the trucker protests that are taking place near Parliament Hill.

Ottawa police have made a third arrest in connection with the ongoing trucker protest, which some city councillors are now saying has reached a “boiling point” that could require intervention from the federal government and RCMP.

Police said Wednesday morning they’ve arrested a 48-year-old man from Quebec with uttering threats and counseling to commit an indictable offence not committed.

The suspect, whose name was not given, made the threats over social media while in Ottawa, according to a release.

Two Ottawa men taking part in the protest were also arrested Tuesday evening. One was charged with mischief and the other was charged with carrying a weapon to a public meeting on Sunday.
