Attack at Sikh temple

Police are investigating after a religious volunteer was injured in an attack by unidentified men at the gates of a Sikh temple in Christchurch. The incident happened in Woolston about 6am on Wednesday. A post from the group’s Facebook said a Pathi or Sewadar (a volunteer who helps a gurudwara or their community for religious reasons) was ‘‘confronted’’ by ‘‘some unidentified men’’ at the gate and suffered injuries. The New Zealand Sikh Society reported the matter to the police and provided footage of the incident, the post read.
