A Sikh truck driver was stabbed multiple times in the US after a man allegedly followed him into a bathroom and attacked him without warning, leaving him seriously injured and hospitalised.
The attack unfolded early Sunday while Singh was driving to Pennsylvania. As he walked inside, he noticed a man behind him but did not think much of it. Moments later, the man allegedly attacked him. He suffered wounds across several parts of his body, including his neck.
Because he fears for his safety, said he remains shaken by the violence and cannot understand why he was targeted, speaking from his hospital bed, Singh, who asked to be identified only by his last name.
“I don’t know why this happened,” he said. “I don’t know why they attack[ed] me,” he told NPR, a US-based news organisation. He stopped at a rest area in southern Wyoming to use the restroom, according to Singh. Singh said the stranger began beating him before pulling out a knife and stabbing him repeatedly.
