Police north of Toronto say the man who allegedly brought a nail gun to a pro-Palestinian protest outside of a synagogue in Thornhill, Ont. and fired it last weekend was partly motivated by hate.
It’s alleged that Ilan-Reuben Abramov, 27, of Vaughan, Ont. stopped his vehicle near demonstrators at Clark Avenue and South Promenade on the morning of March 3 and began yelling “hateful obscenities at them” and became “confrontational” with at least three of the protesters.
