Heavily armed riot police are attempting to clear crowds out of central Toronto, several hours after black-clad vandals raged through the city in protest of the G20 summit.

In the heart of the city, four police cars have been torched and officers have used tear gas. There are reports that police fired rubber bullets to disperse the crowds, which Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair could not confirm.

With large swaths of the city core paralyzed, the demonstrations have forced officials to shut down downtown subway stations and close off main streets from vehicle traffic.

At least 103 arrests have been made and officials say that number could rise as night approaches.

"I want to assure you that the persons responsible will be held accountable," Blair told reporters.

"We are working hard to maintain order and restore the rule of law."

Only a few blocks from the mayhem, G20 leaders are meeting at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
