Toronto police have arrested a man in two separate "hate-motivated" incidents where antisemitic slurs were hurled at victims. He was arrested nearby and charged with assault with a weapon as well as two municipal bylaw infractions related to behaviour in parks. Four days later, police say a separate victim encountered the same man, this time in the Yonge Street and Glen Elm Avenue area. Again, the suspect displayed a drawing of a swastika on his chest and was heard yelling antisemitic slurs at three Jewish women, according to the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. At that point a man intervened and said he would call the police, at which point Bjurstrom turned to leave.
