Knife attack on Sikh trucker in Wyoming stirs fresh fears in community

A Sikh truck driver was stabbed early Sunday at the Bitter Creek rest stop on Interstate 80 in Wyoming, prompting renewed fear among U.S. Sikhs amid anti-immigrant and anti-Sikh hostility toward truckers. Court documents say the victim was attacked from behind in the restroom and suffered stabs to the neck and chest plus more than a dozen other cuts, but survived. Police said the motive remains unknown. Within hours, authorities arrested Andrew Kris Bzdak and held him on $1 million bond on attempted-murder suspicion. Investigators cited recent debate over commercial driver licensing after fatal crashes involving Sikh truck drivers.
