The Coalition of Muslim Women of Kitchener-Waterloo (CMW) and the National Council of Canadian Muslims have called a news conference to address what police are calling a hate-motivated incident at a DriveTest centre in Kitchener, Ont.
The interaction was captured on video by CMW staff member Mifrah Abid and posted to Twitter on Wednesday.
The video shows Abid confronting a person who she accuses of saying a racist comment.
“I just said don't be rude. I didn't say anything else. We're all waiting in this line. Everybody heard you here making a racist comment about brown people,” Abid says in the video.
Abid is recording the interaction from her phone when the person lunges towards her, grabs the phone out of her hand and throws it back at her.
“Don't [expletive] record me [expletive], it's not my permission. That's not my permission,” the person says.
