According to the Sikh Coalition, two Sikhs were robbed and assaulted in Richmond Hill, Queens on Tuesday. The attack took place “quite close” to the spot where Nirmal Singh, a septuagenarian, was punched in an unprovoked attack on April 3.
The Sikh Coalition stated it is in direct contact with the Hate Crimes Task Force of the New York Police Department, which has confirmed that one suspect is in jail and that second attacker is being sought.
