“He got pulled by his hair, all along the mud. They took his turban. That’s totally a hate crime.”
KELOWNA — Fellow international students and members of the Sikh community gathered Sunday morning near a Kelowna bus stop on Highway 97 to call for justice after an attack on Friday night.
“It could happen to anybody here. If we are not safe here then what can we do for our safety?” he said. “This young man, he’s a student. He was just going home after buying a bag of groceries. To be swarmed and beaten like this is so, so wrong,” she said. Kelowna RCMP spokesperson Const. Mike Della-Paolera said the assault is a top priority for investigators. But he did not say if any suspects have been identified. No arrests have been made.
