Bikramvir Singh
Peel Regional Police are appealing to the public for information after a 20-year-old Sikh youth was left with a life-altering injury from an apparently random attack with a paintball gun in Canada.
The incident
happened on August 16 between 10:30 pm and 11 pm as the victim was walking from
his home to a bus stop in the area of Monica Drive and Lockington
Crescent, Mississauga.
According to
police, strangers in a passing vehicle fired multiple paintball rounds at the
man. As a result, he required surgery for his injuries and has been left with a
serious, life-altering injury, police said.
Police said they
could not discuss the specifics of the injury due to privacy concerns around
health information.
The victim Bikramvir Singh was on his way to his part-time work when he was attacked. Bikramvir, who only wanted to be identified by his first name, said he may lose sight in one eye as a result.
“I have no fight
with anyone. Because of the COVID scene, I was all the time at my home,
attending my classes,” Bikramvir Singh said, who underwent surgery at a Brampton
hospital.
Peel police said
that Bikramvir has no idea who his attackers were and that the assault was
unprovoked.
Officers said
they’re looking to speak with anyone who may have the target of a similar
incident, or might have information or video relating to what happened on
Sunday.
There is currently no suspect information available.
