A Sikh teenager was attacked on a bus in New York City in what appears to be a racially motivated incident. The attacker punched the victim multiple times and tried to remove his turban. The suspect, described as a male between 25-35 years old, fled the scene and remains at large. The victim suffered minor injuries but declined medical attention. The Sikh Coalition has condemned the attack and is providing support to the victim.
