A woman who was arrested following a racist tirade caught on video outside Toronto city hall was remanded to a mental health facility Tuesday after a brief court appearance.

Talya Davidson, 28, was charged Monday with one count of assault and three counts of assaulting a police officer. She was brought into the courtroom Tuesday by three court officers with her hands shackled.

Davidson was ordered into custody at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health for treatment and evaluation.

Details of the hearing are covered by a publication ban.

Davidson was arrested after an incident that was caught on video involving a woman who was holding a “Vote Andrew Scheer” sign at Nathan Phillips Square.

In the video, the woman is seen spitting on the person who is recording the video. The woman yells, “This is a beautiful country and you can’t f-- it up, you savages,” and “You don’t belong here.”

Federal Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer publicly condemned the racial slurs and intolerant comments captured in the video.

“I don’t know who this woman is, but there is no place in our party or our country for her hateful language,” Scheer wrote on Twitter. “I condemn her behaviour and racist comments.”

Justice Cathy Mocha ordered Davidson to return to court on Sept. 12.
