Stabbed Sikh is blamed for attacks

Hardip Singh suffered serious wounds to his hands and arms after being attacked by two men outside a house in the midlands. He has no doubt they thought he was a Muslim.

The 23-year-old, originally from the Punjab in India, but studying business in Dublin for the past four years, described last night how the two men called him “bin Laden” and “a terrorist”, and blamed him for the London bombings and directed racial abuse at him. The incident happened earlier this week in Athlone, Co Westmeath, where Mr Singh was staying with friends.
