Mr. Singh was called “turbaned people” and shouted at to “go back to your country,” according to the statement
An Indian-origin Sikh taxi driver - and told "turbaned people, go back to your country" by an unidentified man in the U.S. - says he is "shocked and angered" to be assaulted and that no one should experience such hate.
In a statement on January 3, community-based civil and human rights organisation The Sikh Coalition said that New York City resident Mr. Singh was physically attacked and berated near his cab at JFK International Airport here.
Mr. Singh had parked his cab at the Terminal 4 taxi stand when another driver blocked his vehicle. When Mr. Singh picked up a customer, he stepped out of his car to ask the other driver to move. The other driver attempted to hit Mr. Singh with his own car door; he then began repeatedly punching Mr. Singh in the head, chest, and arms, knocking off his turban, it said in a statement.
