Hamilton Police are investigating an incident at a downtown Hamilton mosque.

At approximately 12:40 p.m., police received a call for service at the mosque indicating a male had entered the building and was refusing to leave. Police attended and removed the male from the property without incident.

We are working closely with the mosque and community to better understand what happened as there are conflicting reports. The investigation is ongoing and it is too early to determine what took place.
