Police are asking residents in a Kitchener neighbourhood to assist them in a hate-motivated incident in Kitchener.
At 12:45 p.m. Thursday, an unknown man was seen walking across the street from a group of children who were playing outside at a school on Strange Street.
“The male began yelling racial slurs towards the group of children and continued walking along Strange Street towards Waverly Road,” WRPS said in a news release.
There were no physical injuries.
The suspect was described as a thin white male. He was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up over his head, a black balaclava covering his nose and mouth, and black pants.
