Another Sikh man attacked in central California
MANTECA, Calif. (AP) — Another Sikh man was attacked in central California but police say they are treating the assault as an attempted robbery and not a hate crime.
The Modesto Bee reports the 71-year-old man was walking along a park in Manteca when two men attacked him Monday.
Surveillance video shows one of the suspects kicking the victim to the ground. After the victim gets up to defend himself, the same suspect kicks him back down to the ground.
Police says that the man does not speak English and could not tell officers what the men said to him or wanted.
Last week, two men beat a Sikh man in Keyes and spray-painted a neo-Nazi symbol on his truck in what police are treating as a hate crime.
