Toronto police are searching for a suspect after anti-Semitic graffiti was painted on a synagogue Wednesday morning.
Officers were called to the scene in the Eglinton Avenue West and Winnett Avenue area, near Allen Road, at around 9:30 a.m.
It was reported that a man went to the synagogue, spray painted the graffiti and then left the area.
He is described as about five foot eight, with a skinny build. He was wearing blue jeans, a dark t-shirt, a baseball cap, black running shoes, and a black backpack.
A security image released by police also showed the suspect had a black bandana covering his face.
