A Sikh professor at Columbia University was allegedly attacked by a group of men in an assault which the police are investigating as a hate crime. School of International and Public Affairs professor Prabhjot Singh was assaulted on Saturday night while walking in the Harlem neighbourhood near New York. In an online post, Mr Singh's friend Simran Jeet Singh, who is a doctoral candidate in religion at Columbia, said Mr Singh had been "brutally attacked" on the street and had been rushed to the hospital "bloody and bruised, his face swollen from a fractured jaw." The young professor could not speak because his teeth had been displaced, Jeet Singh said in the post 'Hate Hits Home: When My Friend Became a Target' published on the HuffPost website.
