Toronto police are trying to identify a suspect wanted in connection with a possible hate crime on the Scarborough RT last week.

Police say on Dec. 10 at around 3 p.m., officers were called to an area near the Scarborough Town Centre after a girl was reportedly assaulted on an Scarborough RT train by an unknown woman.

Police say the suspect, who was also a passenger on the train, pulled on the female’s hijab, kicked her and began yelling profanities at her.

Both the victim and the suspect left the train and went to a nearby bus platform, where police say the suspect continued to make derogatory comments about the girl’s attire.

Police say the suspect is between the ages of 20 and 30 and is approximately five-foot-five with shoulder-length dark hair. She was seen wearing dark-framed prescription glasses, a blue bomber-style winter jacket, skinny jeans, black shoes and was carrying a beige purse.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call investigators at 416-808-4300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
