City leaders condemn ‘hate motivated crimes’ in wake of egging incidents
City leaders are speaking out after multiple people reported being hit with eggs thrown from passing vehicles earlier this week, which police are investigating as potential racially motivated acts of violence.
“We condemn hate motivated crimes and discriminatory attitudes,” Coun. Paul Pugh, the acting mayor, said in a statement issued late Thursday afternoon on behalf of city council and administration.
On Wednesday, the Thunder Bay Police Service issued a media release announcing their Aboriginal Liaison Unit was investigating into two incidents that took place early Wednesday morning.
In the first case, a 21-year-old man was walking on Wentworth Crescent when he was struck by an egg. The man was taken to hospital for medical treatment.
