Police are seeking to identify a suspect wanted in connection with a “hate-motivated incident” in Markham.
In a press release, York Regional Police said on April 29 officers received a report of property damage at a Walmart on Copper Creek Drive.
Police said between 3 and 3:30 p.m., a man parked next to a vehicle that had a Ukrainian flag visible on the dashboard.
Officers allege the man used a “sharp object to scratch the paint on the victim’s vehicle, engraving several derogatory words into the driver’s side door.”
According to police, the man then fled the area in a white two-door smart car.
Police are now searching for a bald man with a heavy-build. Officers said he was seen wearing glasses, a dark jacket and dark pants.
