Assault and vandalism at Winnipeg cafe included anti-Semitic graffiti: police
WINNIPEG — Police in Winnipeg say they’re investigating an assault and possible robbery at a cafe that was then vandalized and spray-painted with anti-Semitic graffiti.
Const. Rob Carver says it happened Thursday night after closing time at the BerMax Caffe and Bistro, the same business where police are already investigating other incidents of anti-Semitic graffiti stretching back to December.
In Thursday’s incident, police say they think the cafe was the target of a robbery, and a woman who worked there was assaulted.
Police say the business was severely vandalized and spray-painted with hate-related graffiti.
