A 25-year-old British Sikh engineer claims he was racially abused, spat at, punched in the face and branded a “Muslim terrorist” by a bouncer as he tried to enter a nightclub in Poland.
London-born Nav Sawhney travelled to Krakow last Friday with a friend for a weekend trip when he was allegedly subjected to a verbal and physical attack by a nightclub bouncer, he told the ‘Evening Standard’. Sawhney, who wears a turban, had visited Auschwitz - former Nazi concentration camp - with his friend before returning to the Polish city for a night out at a night club.“The bouncer stopped me and said I was not allowed in. I asked why very calmly and after a few minutes passed, he was shouting at me and spitting at me and was very aggressive,” Sawhney told the newspaper.“My friend came down the stairs [in the club] and asked why I was not allowed in. It was said it was the dress code. But my friend said ‘we are dressed exactly the same’.“[The bouncer] pointed at my turban and said ‘that hat, Muslim terrorist’. They were being really aggressive,” he recalled.
