Man holding noose threatens women wearing hijabs ‘This is for you’

The Edmonton Police Service is looking for a man in connection with an alleged hate crime that happened at the University of Alberta LRT Station.

An elderly man allegedly approached and threatened two women wearing hijabs at around 8:30 p.m. on November 8.

Cell phone video shot by one of the victims shows the man pulling a rope from his pocket, then he ties a noose and issues the threat, “This is for you!”

The man then proceeded to sing O’Canada in front of the two women.

The suspect is described as white, male, in his 60’s, with a thin build and balding grey hair.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Edmonton Police Service.
