A man allegedly entered a mosque in Scarborough late last week and uttered hate-motivated threats and slurs at people inside.
Toronto police said the suspect was not known to those at the mosque, adding that he was forced out shortly after allegedly committing the “suspected hate-motivated offence.” In a post on social media, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow called the incident a “terrible” example of Islamophobia which has “shaken the community.”
“Thank you to police for investigating and making an arrest. Together, we must recommit ourselves to making Toronto a place where people feel safe, a place where everyone belongs.”
