Protesters pulled down a statue of Canada's first prime minister on Saturday.

A widely circulated video shows the toppling of a landmark statue of John A. McDonald, in which the figure's head breaks off and bounces on the paving stones.

The otherwise peaceful protest gathered under the banner of a group named The Coalition for BIPOC Liberation. BIPOC stands for "Black, Indigenous and people of color." Insider has contacted the group for comment but did not immediately receive a reply.

The statue's removal came at the culmination of a 200-strong protest that started as a call for changes to the city's police funding, according to local newspaper the Montreal Gazette.
