A woman in a hijab was confronted by a man “yelling derogatory comments” who later assaulted her and two bystanders, London police say – an incident that has unnerved local Muslim leaders and that investigators are treating as a possible hate crime.
London police say it was about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when the incident happened in the area of Berkshire Drive and Berkshire Place, a suburban neighbourhood near the intersection of Wonderland and Springbank roads.
Justin is getting smacked in the comments.
I’m angry to learn that women wearing hijabs were the target of a violent attack in London, and a mosque in Winnipeg was the target of hateful harassment.
Islamophobia kills. Whenever we see it, we’ll confront it — and we’ll work to keep our communities safe from it.
