Toronto police apprehended a man for setting fire to Israeli flags taken from a North York church last week. The incident, which occurred around 1 a.m. on Oct. 7 near Sunrise Avenue and O’Connor Drive, involved the suspect lighting the flags ablaze before fleeing the scene. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
After identifying the suspect three days later at a demonstration near Dundas Street East and Yonge Street, officers arrested 29-year-old Syed Raza of Toronto on Oct. 10. Raza faces charges of arson, mischief, and disobeying a court order, with a court appearance scheduled for Oct. 11.
The investigation into the case is ongoing, and anyone with relevant information is urged to reach out to Toronto police at 416-808-3505.
