A group of protesters held a round dance Friday afternoon at Portage Place after an aboriginal woman said she was pinned to the ground by a security guard in the morning.

The woman claimed she was targeted by a mall security guard because of her ethnicity.

She said a security guard told her to turn her portable speaker off. When she failed to do so, she said the security guard pinned her to the floor.

The woman told CBC News she has filed a police report.

At the round dance Friday afternoon, she confronted security and police were called.

CBC News has made calls to Portage Place and the mall’s security company, Securitas, but has yet to receive a response.
