Two Montreal businesses are apologizing after a video circulating on social media showed a man throwing water on a sleeping homeless person outside of a Chinatown storefront to get him to leave.
A copy of the video was shared on Instagram by Kevin Calixte, who hosts the Rapolitik podcast.
The footage shows a woman bringing a metal container of water down the staircase of the storefront on Saint-Laurent Boulevard and handing it to a man, who dumps it on the sleeping man's face.
The man appears startled and jumps up.
"You've got to wake up, man. You've got to wake up," says the man who threw the water. "You can't sleep here."
The scene unfolded last Saturday outside La Toxica Montreal, a Mexican restaurant, and the MTL Gaming Centre, both of which share the same address on Saint-Laurent Boulevard.
The restaurant said in a statement to Noovo Info that it was the owner of the gaming store who threw the water on the homeless man.
