A 71-year-old man is facing charges after an elderly Jewish woman was stabbed inside an Ottawa grocery store, in an attack the police have described as a “hate-motivated crime.”
Ottawa police said the victim entered the store with a friend at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 27 where she was “approached by a man who stabbed her.”
