Dromm Statement on Attack in Jackson Heights

Statement of Daniel Dromm:

“I am saddened and troubled to learn about the attack on Jassmir Singh, a young Sikh man, while walking the streets of Jackson Heights. This vicious attack is a reminder that we desperately need more law enforcement presence on 37th Avenue at night and on weekends. I am also deeply concerned about the likelihood that this may have been a hate crime. I am again calling on the Mayor and the City Council to institute a tolerance program in the New York City public schools. The increasing frequency and severity of these crimes has made it critical for our city to take action to insure that everyone is protected and respected. “
