A Sikh man mowed down by a road-rage driver in Queens says he was called a terrorist moments before the driver floored it.
“You mother f–king Bin Laden, go back to your country!” the driver allegedly screamed at victim Sandeep Singh right before the motorist plowed his pick-up truck into Singh, dragging him 30 feet and then fleeing.
“I was attacked because I am a Sikh and because I look like a Sikh,’’ Singh said in a statement Tuesday from Jamaica Hospital, where he is recovering.
Singh’s family held a rally in Queens Tuesday to push to have his hit-run considered a hate crime.
Singh, who is originally from India, was getting out of his car in Richmond Hill around 12 a.m. July 30 when the driver of a silver GMC 1500 Series Sierra pick-up was blocked by his vehicle’s door, police sources said.
The two men argued before the driver hit the gas slightly and bumped Singh with his car on 99th Street near 101st Avenue, cops said.
The driver stepped on the gas again, this time running Singh over and dragging him through the street before taking off, cops said.
Police released a photograph of the truck and are still seeking the driver for the assault.
“I was appalled. This is New York City. We are the mixing pot of culture, of religions. I don’t know how it still happens here and especially in Queens,” said Singh’s wife, Prabhupreet Kaur.
Sing suffered abdominal and back injuries and is in serious condition.
“We need to create a world without hate,” he said.
