On Wednesday, Montreal police made an appeal to the public to help identify a man suspected of a homophobic attack in Montreal. 

According to the SPVM, two women were holding hands while walking down rue Bélanger in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie on August 1 when, at around 10:20 a.m. near the intersection with Saint-Hubert, the suspect is alleged to have spat twice on one of their arms before leaving the scene.
