Toronto police are looking for a suspect who allegedly fired a replica firearm at three members of the Jewish community in North York on Thursday.

Police said the assault, which is being investigated as a hate-motivated incident, occurred in the area of Bathurst Street and Lawrence Avenue West.

Three people, who police say were visibly Jewish, were walking in the area when a suspect in a blue SUV allegedly discharged an Orbeez-type gun at them.

The victims sustained minor injuries, police said.

Meanwhile, the suspect fled, and police shared a video on Saturday showing the suspect’s SUV driving away.

No suspect description has been released.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
