The Toronto Police Service is set to announce additional arrests in connection with two drive-by gel pellet gun attacks aimed at Jewish individuals. The first incident occurred on April 30, followed by a second attack on May 7, where 18-year-old Ruslan Novruzov was charged with four counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. During the May 7 incident, Novruzov allegedly fired a gel pellet gun at Jewish individuals outside the Congregation Chasidei Bobov synagogue, resulting in minor injuries to one victim. The earlier attack involved three identifiable Jewish residents who were similarly targeted. Following public appeals for information, tips from the Jewish Security Network and Shomrim Toronto were instrumental in leading to Novruzov's arrest. Police executed a search of his residence and vehicle, recovering two gel-blaster imitation firearms. Both incidents are being treated as hate-motivated offenses, reflecting a troubling trend of anti-Semitic acts in the area.
