Toronto police say they are investigating a suspected hate-motivated crime and have made an arrest in another case that took place in recent weeks.

They allege a man began yelling anti-Muslim comments on a subway train on May 12 and then assaulted a victim who was travelling with her friend.

Police say bystanders intervened and the man fled the area of Yonge Street and Finch Avenue West.

The suspect is described as having a slim build, a beard and a moustache, and he was wearing a dark blue vest with small Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors logos on it, as well as a light-coloured Adidas baseball hat.

Police also say they’ve arrested a 33-year-old Toronto man after a rock was thrown through the window of a synagogue in the Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street West area on June 1.

Police say the suspect has been charged with mischief to religious property and failing to comply with a probation order.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2024.
