Gary Street: Talia Gohari

gary street: They never imagined something so violent could happen to them in their new country. "It was terrible," said Talia Gohari, according to CTV. The attack happened on Portage Avenue near Gary Street on Thursday August 25th, as the couple was walking to an orientation course for newcomers. Talia and Shayke Gohari immigrated to Canada from Israel this summer, with their three small children. Talia said a man walked up to them and tried to steal her purse. The knife cut deep into his arm as the attacker got away. "When I saw the damage that he had done to my husband, it was terrible, I was in shock, crying because I saw him and he was bleeding," added Talia Gohari. When her husband Shayke intervened, the man allegedly attacked him with a knife. "My instinct was to take the purse and tell him what are you doing and he takes this knife that I didn't see and he cut my arm," said Shayke Gohari. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
