The Montreal police have arrested a 24-year-old suspect in connection with the assault of a Jewish man in front of his children in the city’s Parc-Extension neighbourhood last week.

The attack, which was captured on video, sparked widespread condemnation from politicians and Jewish advocacy groups.

According to police, the victim, 32, had made his way to the park with his young children when the suspect approached him and sprayed him with his water bottle.

Police say the victim attempted to confront the suspect over it, who then “pushed him to the ground and punched him several times in the face and kneed him.”

In the video, the suspect can be seen repeatedly punching the victim while he is on the ground. A little girl can be heard yelling as she stands beside and then clings to the victim, who manages to make it back on his knees and eventually stands.

The video ends with the suspect walking away and throwing what appears to be a kippah on the wet ground near a fountain.

Quebec, and Montreal in particular, has been a pit of antisemitism for the last 2 decades.

I am sure someone in GD would say this has nothing to do with the victim being Jewish and something something Israel.
