Toronto police say they are searching for a wanted woman in connection with a hate-motivated assault aboard the TTC streetcar in late September.
Police allege a 28-year-old man was on the 510 northbound streetcar from Bremner Boulevard and Spadina Avenue around 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 23 when a group boarded.
Investigators said a woman in the group began to utter racial slurs at the man before spitting on him twice. She then covered her face with a gray blanket to hide her identity and got out of the car in the Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue area.
