-- A man is recovering after being attacked Sunday morning on his way to the Sikh Cultural Society in"He was just walking and he came from behind and hit him in the face," Nirmal Singh's translator said.
It was hard for Singh to speak because of the pain. The blood was still fresh on his sleeves and jacket.Harpreet Singh Toor, the Sikh Cultural Society public policy chairman, translated because Singh does not speak English. He told Mishkin he was walking to temple early Sunday morning when a man approached him and punched him in the nose, causing him to fall to the ground. Toor believes 70-year-old was attacked because of the way he looks.
"Any attack in the name of just because you look different is an attack against everybody, not just that person, and it's got to stop," Toor said. Nirmal Singh walked Mishkin to the area where the attack happened at around 7 a.m., near 95th Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard in South Richmond Hill. It's a short distance from the Sikh Cultural Society, where he is currently staying. He only arrived in New York two weeks ago from Canada.
