Police arrest three men in suspected anti-Muslim hate crime in Kingston, Ont. - The Globe and Mail
Police have arrested three men and are searching for a fourth after several Muslim students in Kingston, Ont., were attacked in what investigators are calling a hate crime.
A group of six Queen’s University students was targeted by four young men on bicycles who yelled “racial slurs and hate-based profanities,” police said. The students were attacked as they walked back from seeing a movie in the city’s north end early Sunday morning.

“It’s a crime that dictates a swift response from the police,” said Detective Constable Jay Finn of Kingston Police. “This type of behaviour won’t be tolerated in our community.”
Investigators say the random attack began when the suspects approached the male students with an offer to sell them drugs. When they declined, the suspects began shouting racial slurs and attacking them.
One of the suspects had a weapon, believed to be a baseball bat, and hit one victim on the arm and leg, causing bruising.
Queen’s principal Daniel Woolf denounced the attack, saying the university was committed to protecting its students and staff from hate and discrimination.
“I am shocked and dismayed to learn that anyone in this community would be the victim of an unprovoked attack of this kind, let alone six of our students,” Mr. Woolf said in a statement. “I can only imagine how shaken they must be feeling after this incident, and my thoughts are with them.”
Police released a grainy photo one of the victims took on his cellphone, saying they believed the suspects likely lived close to the area of the attack, which happened on Fraser Street near Patrick Street. Det. Constable Finn said the photo helped lead to the arrests.
Three men, who are 18, 19 and 20 years old, face charges of assault with a weapon and uttering threats. Two also face charges of breach of probation.
Police are still looking for a fourth suspect.
