CALGARY – Police say racial slurs were uttered at a Calgary man before he was stabbed twice in the face in what investigators are calling a hate-motivated attack.
Police allege the man was approached by a neighbour outside a home in southwest Calgary on the night of May 22.
The injured man, who is in his 40s, then went inside his home, called police and was sent to hospital.
Police say he has since recovered from his wounds.
The neighbour is also accused of making escalating racial remarks toward the victim in the weeks leading up to the attack.
A 41-year-old Calgary man has been charged with assault with a weapon and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
Police say an attack motivated by hate doesn’t result in an additional charge, but the courts can decide it’s an aggravating factor in sentencing.
