The Toronto Police Service (TPS) is searching for a man who allegedly spewed anti-Semitic insults at someone while riding a Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway last week.
It’s alleged that the victim boarded the subway at High Park station at around 1 p.m. on Aug. 13 and was near the suspect, who was already on board the train with a white Husky.
In a news release, TPS said the suspect began yelling at the victim and made several anti-Semitic threats and threats of bodily harm. No physical injuries were reported.
The male suspect is described as approximately 35 years old, six-foot-two and 180 pounds with a shaved head, medium build, short beard, and moustache.
He was last seen wearing sunglasses on his head, a light purple dress shirt, a purple tie, a dark dress vest, dark dress pants, and black dress shoes.
TPS is investigating this incident as a hate-motivated crime.
Photos of the man and his dog have been released.
