Police are asking for help identifying a man in his early 20s after hate-motivated mischief in which he shouted antisemitic slurs and urinated on the steps.

Toronto police have released an image of a suspect who allegedly urinated on the steps a place of worship while shouting anti‑Semitic slurs earlier this month.

Police say the incident happened at around 10:30 p.m. on June 4 near Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East.

Police allege that the suspect urinated on the steps of a place of worship while shouting anti‑Semitic slurs, before fleeing the area.

The suspect is described as a man in his early 20s, approximately five‑foot‑10, with a medium build, medium‑length brown hair, and a clean‑shaven face.

At the time, police say he was wearing a dark baseball cap, a white Nirvana T‑shirt, light grey shorts, and white running shoes.

Police are treating this as a suspected hate‑motivated offence and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
