Toronto police say an investigation into an incident where an 11-year-old girl was allegedly attacked twice and had her hijab cut by a man wielding scissors revealed the events never took place.

In a release Monday, police said after a detailed investigation, police have determined that the events described in the original news release did not happen.

We had some very serious allegations on Friday, which we investigated, Toronto police spokesperson Mark Pugash told Global News. We investigated them in great detail. We put together a lot of evidence, we interviewed people and the investigators came to the conclusion that the allegations related to things that simply didnt happen.

When contacted by Global News, the girls mother Saima Samad refused to open the door and asked for privacy.

It was originally reported that the girl was walking to Pauline Johnson Junior Public School in Torontos east end at about 8:30 a.m. Friday when she noticed a man behind her with a pair of scissors cutting at the back of her hijab and that he had pulled off her hood and proceeded to cut.

Pugash did not want to go into specifics about how police determined the allegations were false.

I would be interested to see a balance sheet of actual hate crimes against muslims beside fake hate crimes against muslims.

I'm genuinely curious which list would be longer at this point. It seems like every one that gets news coverage turns out to be bogus.
