North Van Sushi Restaurant Backed After Alleged Attack

Owner Edward Hur says a large number of callers have also offered support, letting him and his family know they are valued in the community. “It’s very strange,” Hur told CTV News Vancouver. Last Friday, however, Hur received anything but support. While closing up shop for the night, Hurr says he saw a woman let her dog pee on his door. When he went outside to confront her, things turned ugly, he says. “I hate Asians, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, it doesn’t matter,” Hur says the woman told him. “I especially hate Koreans because they eat dogs.” Hur and his wife moved to Canada from Korea 24 years ago. Hur was able to capture part of the incident on video, but says the woman called her comments as soon as his phone came out. But there was more to it than racial slurs, he says. “Then he spat on my body twice,” Hur said. He says the same woman scolded and spat on his wife just last year. “My wife is very sad and very shaken,” Hur said. “My heart is broken.” While he’s still hurting from the incident, Hur says the support from the community at Edgemont Village has definitely helped. People have started putting courtesy notes on the outside of their front window. “Ed, we respect you and your family,” says one. “We are so grateful to have you in our community,” says another. Hurr said people have also left gifts or stopped by to offer personal support. “Some people give flowers, some people give cards, some people give hugs,” Hur said. “We are not alone.” North Vancouver RCMP announced they are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime on Tuesday. The use of racial slurs is something researchers say is particularly troubling. “Hate crimes and hate-motivated criminal activity have no place in our community and our officers are working diligently to identify this suspect,” said spokesman Const. Mansoor Sahak in a statement. While using racist language or shouting racial abuse at someone is not – in itself – a criminal offence, using such language while committing an apparent attack means it can be investigated as a hate crime, police explained. “Hate crimes, unlike incidents, are criminal offenses committed against a person, organization or property motivated by hatred, prejudice or bias against an identifiable group. Hate crimes should be reported to the police,” the quote statement says. The woman is described as white, 5.6ft tall, with shoulder-length brown and red hair. At the time, police say he was wearing a turquoise waterproof jacket, dark blue pants and a light blue top. Anyone who has video of the incident or believes they can identify the suspect is asked to call the department at 604-985-1311. With files from CTV News Vancouver’s Lisa Steacy
