Five wanted in swarming assault of Muslim woman at Oshawa Pizza Place
OSHAWA, ONTARIO, JUL 5 – Durham police investigate a July 2 assault on a Muslim business owner amid a 77% rise in local hate crimes, with youth suspects and the Hate Crime Unit involved.
- A Muslim woman was swarmed and assaulted by a group of teens at a Pizza Pizza restaurant in Oshawa, Ontario, with her hijab ripped off and being repeatedly kicked, in an incident being investigated as a possible hate crime.
- The victim's daughter said her mother had noted an upsurge in Islamophobic attitudes at her business, and the family sees the alleged swarming as an escalation of that trend.
- Amira Elghawaby, federal special representative on combatting Islamophobia, condemned the attack and called for it to be fully investigated and for hate crime charges to be laid if warranted, noting that wearing a head scarf can put a target on Muslim women.
