一名锡克教卡车司机在怀俄明州高速公路休息站遭到持刀袭击，被刺伤17次后幸存下来1。嫌疑人安德鲁·克里斯·布兹达克已被逮捕，被控一级谋杀未遂罪，保释金定为100万美元1。袭击事件发生在周日，截至周五，嫌疑人被关押在斯威特沃特县拘留中心1。受害者在遭遇袭击时表示："我以为这是我生命的最后时刻"1。
多位南亚政界人士将此次袭击与美国国土安全部最近发布的含有锡克教司机刻板印象的争议性帖子联系起来1。国土安全部删除的帖子配文包括"自行离开或自食其果"和"滚出我们的道路，辛格先生，你不懂怎么开车"1。伊利诺伊州众议员拉贾·克里希纳穆尔蒂指出，此事发生在针对锡克教和南亚裔美国人的仇恨日益高涨之际，国土安全部最近还发布了嘲讽锡克教卡车司机的种族主义内容1。
A Sikh truck driver was stabbed 17 times during an attack at a highway rest stop in Wyoming on Sunday, but survived the assault.1 The suspect, Andrew Kris Bzdak, has been arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder, with bail set at one million dollars.1 As of Friday, Bzdak remains in custody at the Sweetwater County Detention Center.1
The victim recounted the harrowing experience, stating, "I thought that now my final time had come."1 The attack has prompted South Asian political figures to draw connections between the incident and a controversial post recently removed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that contained stereotypical depictions of Sikh truck drivers, with captions reading "Self deport or Find Out" and "Get off our roads, you don't know how to drive Mr Singh."1 Illinois Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi characterized the stabbing as part of a broader pattern, saying, "This comes amid rising hatred targeting Sikh and South Asian Americans, with even the Trump Department of Homeland Security recently posting a racist caricature of a Sikh truck driver."1
