3 men beat NYC Sikh family

NEW YORK, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A Sikh family was beaten in front of their New York home by thugs who yelled, "Go back to your country, bin Laden," police said.

Surinder Singh, 41, was walking to his New York City home Sunday night when three men, noticing his turban and thick beard, began taunting him with anti-Arab epithets, the New York Daily News reported.

The 41-year-old cab driver was with his wife, two children and a cousin.

"I'm from India. I'm Sikh. Come on, man," Singh explained to the men, according to his cousin Lakhvir Singh Gill.

The three men, all about age 19, responded by spitting on him, Gill told the News. Gill and Sikh's wife tried to intervene but they were beaten as well.

A pizza deliveryman and two women, one armed with a bat, rushed over, prompting the attackers to scatter, witnesses said.

Police searched the neighborhood by foot and helicopter but no one was arrested as of Monday in the case investigators labeled as a possible bias crime.
