Sikh Uber Driver Strangled in Hate Crime Attack
From Angry Asian Man:
Early December 2019, an Uber driver called 911 to report he had been choked by passenger Grifin Levi Sayers. Sayers made racially based comments about the victim's dark skin color, his Indian origin, and his turban during the alleged attack. Because of Sayer's identification of the driver's race, national origin, and religion, the assault was investigated as a "bias incident". However, Sikh Coalition Leagal Director Amrith Kaur states that the incident is "verly clearly a hate crime under the defintino of the law" and expressed hope that the prosecuting attourney's offie would appropriate charge Sayers with a hate crime offense.
