Two men charged in hate crime investigation after 'unprovoked' Sudbury attack: police
Police say two men have been arrested and charged in an alleged hate-motivated assault in Sudbury earlier this month that left two male victims with minor injuries.
The Greater Sudbury Police Service says officers responded to reports of an "unprovoked" assault on two people on Cedar Street at around 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 15.
Police say the suspects hurled racial slurs at victims during the assault and one of the suspects removed a "garment of religious significance" from one of the victims.
They say a detective trained to investigate hate crimes took charge of the investigation and identified two suspects.
