Police say the incident occurred the night of June 4 at an undisclosed place of worship near the intersection of Woodbine Ave. and Queen St. East in Toronto when 22-year-old Domenic Buchanan allegedly approached the location, urinated on the steps while shouting anti-Semitic phrases, and then ran away.
