Hate Crime in Toronto's Church & Wellesley

Early Saturday morning in Toronto's church and Wellesley neighborhood, two men in ski

masks targeted a guy walking alone with homophobic slurs before, jumping out of their car

and assaulting him.

The victim was just strolling down the street when the suspect strobe by yelling insults

from a dark color sedan, then parked nearby, caught up to him, beat him, and sped off.

He ended up in the hospital with minor injuries, but thankfully nothing serious, and this attack

has folks in the tight-knit LGBTQ community on edge, since it's their main hub.

Police released suspect details to help track them down, ones about six feet tall and thin,

the others five foot nine, both in all black outfits and ski masks.

Toronto's hate crime unit is now spearheading the probe, so if you saw anything, hit a police

at 416-808-3500.
