Columbia University professor attacked in possible hate crime in Manhattan

Eyewitness News

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The NYPD is investigating a possible bias attack on a Sikh professor at Columbia University.

Dr. Prabhjot Singh was attacked just after 8 p.m. Saturday on 110th Street near Lennox Avenue, on the northern edge of Central Park. Singh had just dropped off his wife and 1-year old son nearby.

Police say he was knocked down and repeatedly punched by attackers who shouted anti-Muslim slurs.

Singh suffered a fractured jaw in the beating, which is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
