New York City Mayor Eric Adams has promised to “protect” the Sikh community after a 66-year-old man who wore a turban was killed in Queens last week. Jasmer Singh was left in critical condition on Thursday after a vehicle collision on Queens’ Van Wyck Expressway led to a physical confrontation with another driver. After being transported to a hospital, he died from his injuries on Friday.
You have our sacred vow that we reject the hatred that took this innocent life and we will protect you.” Police said the investigation is ongoing but did not disclose if the attack is being looked into as a hate crime. In another tweet, Adams said that his team will be meeting with Sikh leaders this week to discuss the community’s needs.
