Intoxicated football fan held in beating of Sikh cab driver
Suspect, 20, in hate crime case is accused of assaulting taxi driver
By SCOTT GUTIERREZ
P-I REPORTER
Members of Seattle's Sikh community are outraged after an intoxicated football fan attacked a Sikh taxi driver last weekend in what is being investigated as an apparent hate crime.

A judge on Monday ordered the suspect, a 20-year-old Kent man, to be held on $25,000 bail while the investigation continues. He remains in the King County Jail for investigation of third-degree assault and malicious harassment, the state's hate crime charge, court and jail records say.

The taxi driver, Sukhvir Singh, had stopped for food at a market on Montlake Avenue, near Husky Stadium, when police officers asked if he could drive the suspect home and he agreed, according the State Patrol. Police had asked the driver to take the suspect home after he had been ejected from Husky Stadium during the Apple Cup, the State Patrol reported. On the way to the suspect's home, the suspect launched into a tirade of epithets and attacked Singh, according to police reports.
