Toronto police have arrested a 32-year-old man after he allegedly assaulted a young girl while uttering racial slurs on a bus earlier this month.
According to the report, the incident occurred in the area of Danforth Avenue and Main Street in east Toronto. TPS said, after consultation with the specialized Hate Crime Unit, the incident is being treated as a suspected hate-motivated offence. Ontario’s Attorney General must consent before any hate-crime charges could be laid, as is procedure with all hate propaganda offences. These charges are often laid at a later time, police say.
Police said they believe there may be more victims and are asking anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-5500, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS or at www.222tips.com.
