MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Saturday, an unidentified suspect attacked the Syrian refugees, including several children and women, with the pepper spray near the Muslim Association of Canada Centre. Some 30 people were injured in the incident.

"I condemn the attack on Syrian refugees in Vancouver," Trudeau wrote in his official Twitter account on Saturday.

Canadian law enforcement is currently searching for the assailant.
