Toronto police say they are searching for a suspect in connection to a hate-motivated mischief investigation that took place in mid-June at a subway station.
Police said on June 11, officers responded to a call to Finch West Subway Station just before 2:45 a.m.
Investigators allege a man was seen leaving cardboard pieces around the station, which contained “derogatory messages aimed at the Black community.”
The investigation is being looked at as a hate-motivated criminal offence.
Police describe the suspect as being between the ages of 28 to 35 years old, with a full beard and long hair.
At the time of the incident, police said he was wearing a black hoodie with writing on the right sleeve, a black and red ‘Deadpool’ baseball hat, with long dark shorts, black boots and black socks. He was also carrying an ‘Avengers’ backpack and plastic bag.
