LONDON, ONTARIO – A man has been charged with two counts of assault for allegedly spitting on Muslim students at Western University.

The man, who has not been identified, was arrested by the university’s special constable service after two separate incidents were reported. He has also been banned from campus.

The Muslim Students Association (MSA) at Western University has released a statement condemning the attacks.

“We strongly condemn the actions of this individual,” the statement said. “We are grateful for the support of Western University and Campus Police during this difficult time.”

The accused is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

This incident is the latest in a series of anti-Muslim attacks that have taken place in Canada in recent months. In October, a man was arrested after he allegedly assaulted a Muslim woman in Toronto. And in November, a mosque in Mississauga was vandalized with graffiti.

These attacks are unacceptable and must be condemned by all Canadians. We must all stand together against Islamophobia and all forms of hate.
