Toronto, June 10
Close on the heels of Indians being attacked in Australia, six members of the community were racially assaulted by a group of young Canadians while playing tennis on the outskirts of Vancouver.
Police have arrested four Canadians, including a woman, in connection with the assault for shouting racial slurs at and robbing a group of tennis players in Aldergrove. The four --- all in their teens — have been charged with
robbery, assault with a weapon and uttering threats.
The attack began when a group of four teenagers approached six players at the Jackman Park tennis courts. The youths allegedly used a metal bar and boards ripped off a fence to menace the six victims, all the while shouting racial slurs, local media reported quoting police.
The players were herded into a corner of the court, and one was hit on the head by a thrown board.
