Brampton Man Arrested for Jewish Restaurant Shooting

A Brampton man faces serious charges after a Jewish-owned restaurant in North York to gunfire early Friday morning around 1.28 a.m. Toronto police found bullet damage at the old Avenue spot near Avenue Road and Brook, but luckily no one got hurt. The suspect bolted in a dark SUV, but 30-year-old Mohammed Madi got picked up Sunday in Brampton after cops executed a search warrant. Covert officers already patrolling that Jewish heavy neighborhood tracked the getaway ride and snagged the license plate. This came from an enhanced appointment, ramped up after a string of recent shootings hitting synagogues and other Jewish businesses. Chief Myron Dimqy made it clear this fast arrest sends a strong message to anyone eyeing these communities. He's stressed police will hunt down and hold accountable whoever tries similar stunts. Investigators are now probing links to those other attacks, checking if Madi rolled solo or had backup.
