Waterloo Regional Police are looking for a man, they believe is involved in a hate-motivated assault in Kitchener.
Two women were reportedly in a parking lot at Lackner Boulevard and Ottawa Street North on Tuesday, when an unknown man said racial comments towards them.
Police say one of the victims was spat at.
They have since released a photo of a man they are looking to speak with in connection with the incident.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call police.
The plaza at Ottawa and Lackner, is the same location where a member of the Coalition for Muslim Women was the victim of an alleged hate-motivated incident, back in May 2023.
The interaction at the DriveTest centre was caught on video and went viral online.
A Waterloo woman was charged in that case.
