Ottawa Now - OPS label Wednesday's grocery store stabbing as a hate-motivated crime

August 29, 2025

The Ottawa Police Service has ruled that Wednesday’s afternoon stabbing at a West End grocery store was a hate-motivated crime. Authorities say a Jewish woman in her seventies was stabbed by a stranger in an unprovoked attack, with the horrific events unfolding in broad daylight and inside a populated area. College Ward councillor Laine Johnson said the disturbing incident has left her community in a state of shock and sadness. She has previously voiced her concerns about antisemitism numerous times, calling on the feds to ban the display of certain hate symbols. And while that initiative was successful, Johnson says more action is needed. She joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
