Riverdale residents worry about vigilantism after family attacked with fireworks and bear spray by group of teens
A family who was attacked with fireworks and bear spray by a group of teens in the Riverdale neighbourhood on Canada Day is concerned the worsening situation could escalate to vigilantism.
The group of youths — believed to be the same ones who prompted the city to temporarily close the Dominic Agostino Riverdale Community Centre in June — have been a growing issue in the east Hamilton neighbourhood, said Gidget Boyer.
