A 19-year-old Brooklyn man has been arrested and is facing hate crime charges for a trio of attacks on Sikhs in Queens.
According to authorities, on April 3, Douglas approached a 70-year-old man wearing a turban at around 6:45 a.m. on April 3 near the intersection of 95th Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard. Police say Douglas punched the victim several times in the face and head.
Then, on April 12, at around 7 a.m. at the same location, authorities say Douglas, shirtless and carrying a stick, approached a 45-year-old man wearing a turban. Authorities say Douglas hit the victim several times with the stick in the head and face, then punched him several times. Just minutes later, Douglas allegedly approached a third victim, a 58-year-old man, and also struck him several times in the head and face with a stick, causing the man's turban to fall from his head.
