Two men were formally charged this week in connection to a string of attacks against three Sikh men in Queens, prosecutors said.
A second man, Hezekiah Coleman, was also arrested after Tuesday's attack, accused of joining throwing punches and threatening to shoot one of the victims. He has been charged with assault and robbery.
Both men faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted, Katz said Saturday. Attorney information for Douglas and Coleman was not immediately known. Activist Japneet Singh, who led a rally on Thursday to denounce the violence against the Sikh community, said that Gurjar Singh was attacked from behind while walking, and the attacker removed his turban and pulled his beard.
