A video of an attack on two Sikh youths near Richmond Hill in New York has surfaced. According to the police, one person has been arrested in this case. The case is being investigated by registering a case against him under hate crime. A Sikh youth was attacked at the same place 10 days ago as well.

 

According to local media reports, some people thrashed Sikh youths walking on the road with sticks and then took off their turbans. By the time police personnel reached the spot after the incident, the accused fled. Local leaders associated with the Sikh organization also reached the spot and raised slogans against the police.

 

People should share information about the culprits: Attorney General

 

New York Attorney General Letitia James condemned the incident in a tweet. He said that the police are taking action against the criminals. If common people have any information, then share it with the police. The culprits will not be spared at all.
