Toronto Police have released images of a woman who allegedly attacked a store employee in a suspected hate-motivated incident.
Officers were called to a business in the Jane Street and Wilson Avenue area on Sept. 11, 2024, after reports of an assault.
In a release, police said the woman threw a product scanner at the employee during the attack, and directed anti-Indian slurs at the victim.
Investigators say the suspect and employee weren’t known to each other and they are treating the investigation as a hate-motivated offence.
Police are now trying to identify the suspect.
She’s described as having a thin build with dark brown or black hair. She was wearing a burgundy shawl, a black shirt, and sunglasses.
