Toronto police are investigating several hate-motivated incidents, including unknown suspects allegedly banging on the door of a Jewish home and making hateful remarks.
Police would not say where it occurred and did not provide further details about the incident.
They are also investigating after a mezuzah, a scroll of parchment inscribed with a prayer affixed to doorposts of Jewish homes, was stolen. Police also did not disclose where the incident happened.
Meanwhile, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) said antisemitic graffiti was found spray-painted on walls, garages and garbage bins in several locations in Toronto. Photos sent to CP24 show one graffiti depicting the Star of David smeared in red paint with the words “Free Palestine” above it, while another had “Soaked in Blood” scrawled above the Jewish symbol.
When asked about the photos, police would only tell CP24 that they received reports about graffiti with the exact wording and are investigating.
A similar graffiti was also discovered after school hours at Danforth Collegiate on Monday. The TDSB confirmed the incident to CP24 and said it was painted over this morning.
The school board added that it had notified Toronto police.
