CAMBRIDGE -- A 40-year-old Cambridge man has been charged in relation to what Hamilton police are calling a hate crime attack. Police say a Muslim woman and her daughter were walking through an Ancaster plaza parking lot on Monday night when they were nearly hit by a car – and the incident escalated from there. A man allegedly yelled threats, including death threats, as well as slurs targeting the Muslim community. "These threats were direct, they were targeted," said Const. Krista-Lee Ernst with Hamilton police. When the family tried to get away and hide behind bushes across the street, police say the man tracked them down.
