Quebec media is reporting that police have arrested a woman recorded giving a Nazi salute at an anti-Israel protest in Montreal that erupted in violence.

Montreal police confirmed with True North that the matter was being investigated, though they refused to say whether the woman, Mai Abdulhadi, had been arrested.

“The SPVM won’t confirm or deny any arrests. We don’t want to interfere in an eventual trial that will take place,” a Montreal police representative told True North. “(When the) investigation ends, and as soon as we can share information with the public, we will do so.”

Le Journal de Quebec, however, reported that “reliable sources” have indicated that the SPVM had arrested the former coffee shop owner and that she could be facing criminal charges of incitement to hate and death threats.

As previously reported by True North, Abdulhadi had been recorded giving Nazi salutes and telling Jews and Israeli supporters that “the final solution” was coming their way.

It was discovered by internet sleuths that her family were franchisees of Second Cup Cafe’s location at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal. Second Cup Cafe suspended its franchise relationship in response to the incident.

After Abdulhadi was recorded giving Nazi gestures and alluding to the Holocaust, vehicles were set ablaze and black bloc Antifa protesters smashed franchise windows.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced backlash at the time while riots were taking place in Montreal as he was filmed dancing at a Taylor Swift concert while Montreal’s downtown dealt with the violent riot.

This is a developing story that will be updated when more information becomes available.
