The police arrested 191 people after they dispersed the protesters blocking the streets.
Trudeau invoked emergency powers to overrule civil rights after three weeks of Freedom Convoy caused the Canadian capital to become gridlock.
Police used pepper spray as they moved into the downtown core areas and the streets outside parliament, where the majority of the protestors had taken up position. The police towed away 76 vehicles.
Police said that the protestors had been aggressive and assaultive, and that mounted officers had to arrive to create a safe distance between the crowd and the police line. The person who threw the bicycle at the horse was arrested by the law enforcement agency.

Authorities said on Saturday that no one was seriously injured or dead during the clashes.
The Special Investigations Unit, an official civilian oversight agency that investigates when civilians are hurt or killed by law enforcement, said it is looking into an incident between a mounted officer and a 49-year-old woman.
A video shows mounted police driving back protesters before officers on foot pushed the demonstrators. A man with a bicycle is seen at the front of the crowd, though it is not clear if he is related to the incident mentioned by police.

The protesters were pushed out of the streets in front of Parliament Hill by Saturday afternoon.
One demonstrator, Jeremy Glass of Shelburne, Ontario, told the AP that they lost control of their main camp because they ran supplies and logistics for the trucks on the streets. Tom Marazzo said his group had decided to withdraw.
Interim Police Chief Steve Bell declared on Saturday that the occupation was over, though he said there were small pockets of protesters still in the city.
In an update on Sunday, Bell said the authorities had fenced off downtown core areas and were keeping a heavy police presence there to prevent the protestors from returning.
Bell said that there were 389 charges against people who were arrested, including obstructing police, disobeying court orders, and mischief.
The Freedom Convoy protests began in January over vaccine restrictions and have grown to encompass a variety of issues related to Trudeau and public health measures.
With emergency powers in play, Trudeau's administration has focused on stifling the protestors funding and freezing bank accounts related to the convoys.
