Police are requesting assistance from the public in identifying a man wanted for allegedly assaulting a Toronto Sun photographer over the weekend.

Stan Behal, 63, was covering an anti-hate rally outside Toronto City Hall in Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday when he was apparently attacked by the man in the photo. He was not seriously injured.

The Calgary-based Worldwide Coalition Against Islam had planned a protest in the downtown core, but cancelled. Anti-hate groups had prepared to counter the organization, and continued with their protest despite the cancellation.

Police have described the man as in his twenties, six-foot-two, with muscular build and short brown hair. He was wearing a grey t-shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-5200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
