Two adults and two teens have been charged in connection with a pair of alleged hate-motivated attacks targeting Toronto’s Jewish community, police say.
The charges are linked to alleged assaults on April 30 and May 7 when victims “visibly identifiable as Jewish” were shot from a passing vehicle with a “gel blaster” imitation firearm, Toronto police Chief Supt. Katherine Stephenson said at a June 3 press conference.
