Durham police investigating ‘violent swarming’ attack, Muslim advocacy group says victim’s hijab ‘pulled off’
- Durham police are looking into a violent group attack involving a visibly Muslim woman that took place at a Pizza Pizza restaurant located on Wentworth Street West in the city of Oshawa on July 2, 2025.
- The incident began when a group of youths created a disturbance and one attempted theft, leading the victim, who owns the business, to confront them.
- Amid the violent confrontation, multiple people rushed behind the counter, overwhelmed the victim, forcibly removed the hijab, and physically assaulted her, at one point stepping on the victim’s head.
- A Muslim advocacy organization made the attack's security footage public and called on law enforcement to explore all possible motives, including hate-driven intent, while authorities are urging witnesses and those involved to come forward.
- Durham Regional Police’s specialized units addressing hate crimes and inclusion are participating in the investigation, with authorities emphasizing the need for a thorough inquiry amid increasing Islamophobic incidents both locally and across the country.
