Man arrested after graffiti found near York University 

A man has been arrested in connection with antisemitic graffiti that was found last month near York University in Toronto.  

The suspect, Trevor York, has been charged with hate-motivated break and enter, and multiple counts of property damage. 

The graffiti, which was discovered at a garage near the University, was reported to depict a Jew with peyot (sidelocks) next to a Star of David, accompanied by the text, “shoot a Jew in the head”. 

Last month in Toronto, it was reported that an Uber Driver was accused of cycling through the Yeshiva Gedolah school and telling students that he would “kill 30 Jews today.”

Campaign Against Antisemitism reports on news and incidents relating to antisemitism throughout Canada, which have dramatically increased according to a recent audit.
