In a suspected hate crime, a 19-year-old Sikh was assaulted while wearing a turban on a Queens shuttle bus in New York. The incident occurred on Sunday when the assailant demanded the victim remove his turban, stating, "We don't wear that in this country and take that mask off!" The attacker then punched the teen in the face, back, and head, causing minor cuts, and attempted to remove the turban before exiting the bus. The New York Police Department's hate crime unit is investigating the incident, labeling it as a hate crime assault. No arrests have been made in the case yet.
