A man armed with an axe and bear spray attacked worshippers at a mosque in a Toronto suburb on Saturday without anyone being injured. This attack was condemned “in the strongest possible terms” by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The 24-year-old man who was arrested entered the mosque in the city of Mississauga (Ontario, eastern Canada) and sprayed some worshippers with his spray before being subdued, local police said in a press release.

Members of the mosque were slightly injured by the bear spray, authorities said. It was an ” individual act”, police said, indicating that it could be an “Islamophobic act”.

Übersetzung: Der Angriff auf die Gläubigen des islamischen Zentrums Dar Al-Tawheed ist äußerst beunruhigend. Ich verurteile diese Gewalt, die keinen Platz in Kanada hat, aufs Schärfste und meine Gedanken sind heute bei der Gemeinde. Ich applaudiere auch dem Mut derjenigen, die heute Morgen dort waren.
