She said while she and her mother were not physically hurt, the incident left them shaken.
The Kitchener woman said the incident happened around 4.a.m. as the pair were leaving the masjid, after early morning prayers during Ramadan.
“We were driving down and suddenly you hear, just a honking at us, and there's a car speeding right towards us,” she told CTV News.
