Man charged in alleged hate-motivated assault against gas station attendant in Markham, Ont.
Officials say the suspect walked into the business and allegedly made derogatory comments about the victim’s turban before pointing his middle finger at the gas station attendant while “making hateful remarks.”
Police allege the suspect also threw money and spat on the victim, as well as made a “threatening punching motion” towards them.
On Wednesday, investigators identified the suspect as Farhad Marounisi, of Markham, and brought him into custody. Marounisi is facing an assault charge.
He disliked the guy’s turban does that make it a Hat Crime?
