OTTAWA: Three theatres showing Hindi films were attacked by unknown persons. The incident took place in Toronto, Canada. Reportedly, a group broke into the theatre during the show and sprayed people with an unidentified substance.
The attack took place during a screening at the cinema complex in Vaughan on Tuesday night. Canadian police have released images of the suspected attackers. Two masked men entered the theatre and sprayed an unidentified substance at people. Immediately afterwards, those inside the theatre started coughing. About two hundred people were in the theatre at that time. They were evacuated immediately.
By the time the police team reached the spot after getting the information, the assailants had left the spot. The police released the footage of the suspects later, after examining the CCTV footage. This is the third time such an incident has been reported in Toronto this week. It is reported that the three incidents took place within a span of just three hours. The police are investigating whether there is a connection between them.
Update: New suspect photos have been released after an unknown substance was sprayed in a Vaughan cinema on the evening of December 5th. Similar incidents occurred at other locations in Toronto and Brampton that same evening.
