Man Accused of Vandalizing Chabad House Rearrested

Toronto, Canada — A man accused of smashing windows at a local Jewish centre was arrested again a day later, after failing to comply with the conditions of his release.

The 20-year-old was first arrested and charged with mischief on March 15 after allegedly throwing objects through several windows at the Chabad Midtown Jewish Centre on Bathurst St., south of St. Clair Ave. West.

The accused was placed under house arrest, but when police conducted a compliance check on him the next day, he was not at home. Police arrested him upon his return.

Police believe the incident was hate-fuelled because the suspect was wearing clothing with neo-Nazi and white supremacist group symbols.
