Montreal police arrested two men last night for allegedly threatening members of the Jewish community in Côte St-Luc. Caroline Chèvrefils, a spokesperson for the Montreal police service (SPVM), said several people called 911 at about 6:30 p.m. to report the incident yesterday. Police had a description of the suspects’ vehicle and arrested a 19-year-old and 20-year-old near the corner of Kildare Road and Westminster Avenue. The SPVM’s hate crime unit is investigating.

On May 24, 2021 The Jerusalem Post reported:

In Canada men went to Cote-Saint-Luc, where there is a sizable Jewish community, and yelled antisemitic comments. Two were arrested. The violence against Jews in Montreal appears not to have been covered well, but attackers were armed and sought out Jewish neighborhoods.
