LONDON, CANADA — A Muslim woman shopping with her infant son was attacked in a London, Ontario, supermarket Monday, CBC reported.

The woman was at the Superking Supermarket at approximately 5 p.m. when another woman approached her and began yelling at her for no apparent reason, police said.

The bigoted woman did not know the Muslim shopper personally, but she allegedly spat on the victim, punched her several times and then pulled at the victim’s hijab and hair, police said.

The suspect then left the store. Store managers were unavailable for comment when contacted by CBC.

Police are looking for a woman standing five feet five inches and weighing 150 pounds. She is about 40 years old with a medium build, long black hair pulled back in a ponytail. She was wearing a red Canada T-shirt and black pants and was carrying a green purse.

Police say the suspect spoke with a “heavy accent,” but they are unsure what language she was speaking. 

The victim sustained minor injuries.

According to CBC, this is the fourth publicly reported assault against visible minorities in London in the past eight months. Others have involved physical assaults and racial slurs, including vandals spray painting hateful comments on campaign signs during the federal election last year.
