Edmonton police are investigating another incident involving threats against a young Black woman wearing a hijab.
The woman was at the Century Park LRT Station on Feb. 17 when she was threatened by "a male suspect," police said in a news release Wednesday.
The Edmonton Police Service Hate Crimes and Extremism Unit has met with the woman to confirm details and offer her support, police said.
The incident — the fifth such attack in Edmonton on Black women wearing head coverings in a 10-week period — prompted a call for action from the National Council of Canadian Muslims.
