CALGARY — Police in Calgary are looking for a man they believe to be responsible for a hate crime targeting the Jewish community.
Investigators were called to the Calgary Jewish Community Centre on Tuesday afternoon after multiple reports of a man making antisemitic comments and causing a disturbance.
Police say the individual was throwing eggs at vehicles and a Holocaust memorial monument while shouting antisemitic profanities outside the community centre.
They say the suspect fled before officers arrived.
The man is described as 20 to 30 years old with a slim build, and wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, a black backpack and white running shoes.
Police say hate-motivated crimes are those where an offender was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on personal characteristics of the victim.
They don't result in additional charges, but can be entered as evidence if the person is found guilty and considered in sentencing.
