The attackers allegedly yelled, “Cut his fucking hair” before proceeding to assault him and cutting a fistful of his hair.
On September 25, 41-year-old Sikh-American Maan Singh Khalsa was allegedly assaulted and had his hair cut by two white men in their "20s to 30s”.
Khalsa is an IT specialist living in in Richmond, California. The alleged assault occurred at a red light as he was driving home from work.
The alleged attackers threw a beer can at his car window and then proceeded to pull his head out of the window and cut a fistful of his hair with a knife after yelling, "Cut his fucking hair."
Following this incident, Sikh civil rights organisation Sikh Coalition wrote a letter to the Richmond Police Department and the Contra Costa County District Attorney's office on behalf of Khalsa urging them to consider this a hate crime.
