Hate crime charges have been filed by authorities against a group of men who brutally attacked a 41-year-old Sikh-American man, knocking off his turban and cutting his unshorn hair with a knife.

Maan Singh Khalsa, a father and IT specialist

in California, said the

charges against the men

who attacked him are

the first step to addressing

violence and bigotry, which plague communities across the United States.

The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office filed hate crime charges against Khalsa’s attackers.
