In another glaring incident of hate crime, a woman passed racial comment and later spat on an Arabic speaking man’s face in a Vancouver café.

This video has been released by Vancouver Police department claiming that a 38 year old man was playing cards and drinking coffee with a group of friends near West 4th Avenue and Alma street when they were approached by a stranger around 10:45 p.m. on February 26.

After initially engaging in friendly conversation, the woman asked the men what language they were speaking. When one of the men told her they were speaking Arabic, the woman allegedly made a racial comment, poured coffee on their table, and walked out.

She returned later, walked up to the same group, and spat in the victim’s face.

Vancouver Police launched an investigation immediately after the incident was reported, but has so far been unable to identify the suspect.

Police are now turning to the public for help. Anyone who recognizes the suspect, or has information about the assault, is asked to call investigators at 604-717-4021.
