Nearly 200 people who were stuck on an Amtrak train for 36 hours are finally on the move after being trapped on a snowy stretch of track just south of Eugene, Oregon. All 183 passengers and 12 crew members became trapped in the snow on board the train on Sunday. It's the Coast Starlight from Seattle to Los Angeles and one of America’s most spectacular train rides in good weather. Amtrak crews had to clear 40 miles of track blocked by snow and fallen trees to reach them.

Police say the big crowd of refugees were gathered outside the Muslim Association of Canada Centre at 2122 Kingsway Ave. shortly after 10:30 p.m. when the attack occurred.

“An unknown man on a bicycle rode by and pepper-sprayed the group of men, women and children,” said Vancouver police spokesman Sgt. Randy Fincham in a statement.

The group had just come from a refugees' welcome event inside the centre.

Police say they are searching for the man on the bike, who apparently was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt at the time.

Fincham says it’s unclear whether the attack was a hate crime. “The motive for the pepper-spraying is unknown at this time,” he said.

“Last night’s pepper spray incident was a disgusting display of hate — and Vancouver won’t stand for it,” he wrote on Twitter. He said the city welcomes refugees “and always will.”

No one is under arrest and the investigation continues.
