I was approached by two males who started shouting derogatory terms at me (insert the exact derogatory terms here). They then pushed me to the ground and ran away southbound towards Main St. I did not sustain any injuries. Male 1 is described as, white, approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a red sweatshirt and black pants. Male 2 is described as, male, wearing a black sweater with black hair and a beard. I did not see any other people who witnessed the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Example 2 &#8211; Yesterday evening at 7:30pm, I was waiting at a bus stop located at 123 Main St, in the city of Mississauga. I observed some graffiti painted with a black marker inside the bus shelter. The graffiti appeared to be a Nazi hate symbol. I did not witness anyone in or around the bus shelter at that time. I did take a phone which I uploaded to you online.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\nHate Incident\n<\/p>\n<p>Example 1 &#8211; On March 4th, 2024 at approximately 4:35pm, I was at a store waiting in line to check out when I noticed someone staring at me and they appeared to be angry.

The person was wearing a gray shirt with black pants.<\/p>\n<p>Example 2 &#8211; On June 8, 2023 at approximately 6:20 pm, I was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Hurontario Road and Derry Road West, when suddenly a Red Honda Accord stopped next to me and started to yell at me about my driving and told me to \u201cGo back where you come from and learn how to drive before coming here\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hate Crime\u00a0is a criminal act committed against a person or property which is motivated, solely or in part,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194339],"tags":[51759,49,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-500522","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brampton","8":"tag-brampton","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
