US EditionMontreal police investigating assault on Jewish man
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, AUG 9 – The unprovoked assault on a Jewish father was captured on video and condemned by officials as authorities continue searching for the suspect who fled the scene.
- In the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, a 32-year-old Jewish father was attacked at 2:45 p.m. Friday, with the incident partly caught on video showing children present.
- Manuel Couture said authorities still lack a motive for the assault and report the victim’s injuries are not life-threatening.
- A 28-second bystander video shows the victim being punched multiple times on the ground, with children visibly shaken and one clinging to him during the assault, and the attacker tossing the father’s kippah into a splash pad.
- The video has sparked outrage online, with many demanding justice and stronger protections for the Jewish community, as CIJA urges accountability and Jeremy Levi calls the attack 'beyond deplorable' and an 'outrage against basic human decency'.
- Community leaders warned rising antisemitism and cautioned that inflammatory rhetoric can fuel violence, with Quebec Minister Christopher Skeete and Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante condemning the attack, while Marjorie Michel strongly denounces it.
