Police release sketch of November hate crime suspect

San Jose police  released a sketch of one of two suspects Friday who attacked an East Indian man and called him a 'terrorist' in November.

The attack happened on Nov. 21 in a parking lot in the 3200 block of South White Road.

Police said several males approached the victim, a 32-year-old East Indian man, as he was leaving the parking lot in his car, and one of them yelled out "terrorist."

The other suspect then opened the victim's car door and the first suspect struck the victim in the head with a liquor bottle, said police.

The victim managed to get away and call police. He drove himself to a hospital where he was treated for a jaw injury, according to police.

The suspects remain at-large.

The main suspect, whose sketch police released, was described as a Hispanic man with medium complexion, standing between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds.

Little information is available about the second suspect, other than that he is in his 20s.

Detectives are investigating the case as a hate crime.
