A 24-year-old man has been arrested following 'a possible hate-motivated crime' at a mosque in Canada, authorities say.
The man identified by police as Mohammad Moiz Omar had walked into the mosque brandishing a hatchet and discharging bear spray at mosque members, some of which received minor injuries as a result of the bear spray, police said.
"Our congregants were subject to a violent attack" during Fajr, or dawn prayer, the Dar Al-Tawheed Islamic Centre said in a statement. Investigators say they are"considering all possible motivations, including hate-motivation for the incident" as charges against Omar are pending.Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the attack as"incredibly disturbing" in"I strongly condemn this violence — which has no place in Canada — and I’m keeping the community in my thoughts today. I also want to applaud the courage of those who were there this morning," Trudeau said.
