A Sikh truck driver survived harrowing attack in which he was beaten then stabbed 17 times in a rest stop off a Wyoming highway on Sunday, according to news reports.
The suspected assailant, Andrew Kris Bzdak, reportedly fled the scene, before Wyoming highway patrol troopers arrested him, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Bzdak has been charged with attempted first-degree murder. As of Friday, he was being held at the Sweetwater county detention center on a $1m bail, according to an inmate roster.

I don’t give a shit about the faith, they can believe what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt other people. It’s the practice of the faith that is often the problem. And being religious does not justify discrimination of women, LGBT or people of another faith.
In that regard Sikhism is just about the least harmful religion AFAIK. Way better than Christianity, Islam or Judaism.
