Edmonton police are investigating after a woman wearing a hijab was assaulted Tuesday at the Southgate LRT station — the second high-profile attack in seven days against Muslim women wearing headscarves.
Both attacks were at Southgate Centre, a mall at 51st Avenue and 111th Street in south Edmonton. On Dec. 8, two women wearing hijabs were assaulted in the parking lot.
