Toronto police have arrested five individuals following a violent incident at a private event hosted by the Students Supporting Israel organization at Toronto Metropolitan University. The event took place on November 5, 2025, at 49 Elm St., near Bay and Dundas Streets. According to police reports, a group of protesters forcibly entered the venue, causing property damage and injuries. Officers stated that the protesters entered without permission, smashed glass, and created a chaotic environment that left attendees fearing for their safety. One person was hospitalized due to injuries from broken glass. The five suspects, identified as Nicole Baiton, 25, of Oakville; Kiah Alexis, 22, of Toronto; Fatimah Mugni, 23, of Toronto; Chelsea Wu, 29, of Toronto; and Manal Kamran, 21, of Toronto, face multiple charges, including forcible entry and obstructing police. They have been given court dates, but none of the charges have been tested in court, and they are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This incident has raised concerns among community leaders and organizations regarding the safety of Jewish students and the rising tide of antisemitism. The attack comes shortly after a series of vandalism incidents at a North York synagogue, which has been targeted ten times, and numerous other antisemitic acts reported in the area. Witnesses described the scene as a brazen ambush. One witness recounted, "The mob was masked and broke the glass door with a drill bit and pushed through the barrier." Following the incident, the group posted on social media, stating, "We have dispersed. Stay tuned for a statement. Our universities refuse to hold war criminals accountable. We will hold them accountable." Community organizations have condemned the attack. The Centre of Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) stated, "Extremists are threatening our way of life and must face real consequences. Leaders at all levels of government must do everything in their power to confront this growing danger." Stand with Us Canada called the incident an "unacceptable violent escalation, targeting Jews, silencing peaceful dialogue, and openly using intimidation and violence to disrupt a planned event." Hillel Canada emphasized that there should be no tolerance for violence or intimidation against Jewish students, urging the university administration to take immediate action against those responsible. Richard Robertson, Director of Research and Advocacy for B’nai Brith Canada, labeled the incident a "targeted act of hate against Jewish students and their guests" and called for a thorough investigation. He also demanded disciplinary actions against those involved and measures to ensure the safety of Jewish students on campus. Matthew Taub of Unapologetically Jewish stressed the need for decisive action from university and city leaders to protect Jewish students. He stated, "Jewish students have the right to feel safe on campus, not to be targeted with masked violence for being Jewish or for welcoming Israeli guests." The incident has sparked discussions about the response of political leaders in Canada. As of now, Prime Minister Mark Carney, Premier Doug Ford, and Mayor Olivia Chow have not publicly commented on the event. Community members are calling for more attention to the rising antisemitism and violence against Jewish individuals in Toronto.
