Authorities say a 24-year-old man was arrested after a “possibly hate-motivated act” at a mosque in Canada on Saturday morning.

PM Justin Trudeau wrote, “I strongly condemn this violence, which has no place in Canada, and I’m keeping the community in my thoughts today.”

The 24-year-old entered the mosque in Mississauga, a Toronto suburb, and sprayed members of the congregation before being subdued by congregation members until police arrived and detained him.

The bear spray caused minor injuries to some members of the congregation. According to police, investigators believe the shooting was an isolated occurrence and are exploring hate as a possible motive. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the attack in a tweet, calling it “very distressing.”

“I strongly condemn this violence, which has no place in Canada,” Trudeau wrote. “Today, I’m keeping the community in my thoughts.”

Other public leaders, such as Toronto’s mayor and Ontario’s provincial prime minister, joined the chorus of disapproval. Ibrahim Hindy, the mosque’s imam, lauded the congregants’ bravery in subduing the attacker.

He wrote, “Our community will never be broken, and we refuse to be frightened.” A man driving a pickup truck purposely ploughed over a Canadian family of Pakistani descent, murdering four people in June in Ontario. It was an instance of Islamophobia, according to the police.

In a series of tweets, Mustafa Farooq, CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, urged the local Muslim community to “stay calm and cautious in the coming days” because it’s still “too early to speculate on the attacker’s actual motives.”

“I know how scary this is, but let’s stick together and hold each other tight. Farooq said, “I love you all.”

Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie described the incident as “shocking and infuriating.”

Crombie issued a statement saying, “This unprovoked attack on a place of worship is utterly wrong, and I strongly condemn it.” “My thoughts are with those who have been harmed, as well as the entire Muslim community in the city.”
