Assault at Sikh temple

 Police investigate assault at Sikh temple

Police have arrested a 26-year-old man over an attack at a Sikh temple in Melbourne's north last night.

Police allege a man, who was not known to other worshippers, punched another man in the face after he was asked to leave the Craigieburn temple.

As he was leaving through the main entrance, he allegedly set fire to some rope which was on the door, and then assaulted the 31-year-old.

A number of scarves were also set on fire.

The victim suffered a suspected broken nose.

A Broadmeadows man was arrested early this morning and has been charged with assault and other offences.

He will face court later today.
