Sikh teen says he was harassed, attacked by older teens at mall
CBS2’s Alice Gainer spoke with one of the teens and his father.
“Physically I’m OK, but mentally… I have a 3-year-old brother. I don’t want this happening to him,” 13-year-old Chaz Bedi said.
Chaz says he was at Walt Whitman Shops in South Huntington with a friend when they passed some older teens they didn’t know.
“He’s like, ‘Hey Muhammad, come over here.’ Well, that hurts me immediately because my name is obviously not Muhammad. It’s kind of stereotypical,” he said.
Chaz says he walked up to them.
