Hamilton Police is appealing for witnesses after a man recorded himself making violent threats that included homophobic, transphobic, and ableist slurs directed at individuals on a Hamilton bus.

In the video shared by police, the man can also be seen making a fist and holding it next to the face of one of the victims.

The incident occurred Monday as the bus travelled to a stop outside Gage Park on Lawrence Rd.

The video appears to have been recorded by the suspect and posted to social media.

Police say the incident was reported to them “by a third party in another province.”
