Toronto police say they are searching for a woman wanted in connection with a hate-motivated assault aboard of TTC street car in late September.
Police allege that a 28-year-old man was on the 510 street car going northbound from Bremner Boulevard and Spadina Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 23 when a group boarded.
Investigators said a woman in the group began to utter racial slurs toward the man before she spat on him twice. She then covered her face with a grey blanket to hide her identity and exited the car in the area of Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue.
The woman is described as being five-foot-six and 175 lbs. At the time of the incident, she was wearing a grey sweater, black leggings and grey boots.
“There were a number of people who witnessed the assault. Investigators would like to speak with anyone who may have more information or known the identity of the woman,” police said in a release.
