Ottawa police are asking for help in identifying the person who vandalized the tomb at the National War Memorial on October 14.
At around 9:46 p.m., a man rode a bike to the memorial and used a sharp object to engrave hate-motivated graffiti on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
He then left the area on the bike.
Police describe him as a white man who was wearing a light-coloured sweater, dark pants, a dark toque, a black backpack and was on a mountain style bike.
