''Police said the man — wearing a bandana and yelling racist remarks — approached the sisters around 12:30 p.m. as they were walking along a gravel pathway near Alderwood Park, bordering Edmonton's northwest.
He grabbed one woman by her hijab and pushed her to the ground, knocking her unconscious, police said at the time.
He then pulled out a knife and knocked down the second woman, holding the knife to her throat while continuing to yell racial slurs at both women.
The man suddenly fled the scene in an unknown direction. A police search of the area did not find him.
The incident is being investigated as a hate-motivated crime, RCMP said last week.''
