The incident conspired on March 14, when Dhaliwal was in his car and he saw the man with weapons. “He was weird. I noticed him and decided not to park close to him. I started doing my preparation for my workout in the car. Soon, he broke the rear left side’s window. As soon as I came out of the car without my shoes, he hit me with the axe. I asked him why are you attacking me. Before I could understand anything, he said something in Hindi: Jai Mata Di. I don’t want to make it Hindu versus any kind of it,” Dhaliwal was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
It was at that moment the actor realized that man is Indian, and shared, “My intention was to just stop him from doing this nonsense. Even if he is a psychopath, he is an Indian. If he goes to injure anyone else, the message that will go out is: ‘An Indian guy did the massacre and killed many people here’. It would be a negative message for the Indians staying here in the US. The idea of safeguarding my Hindustan’s name gave me the courage to fight back.”
A Hindustan Times report suggests that Dhaliwal sustained injuries on his hand, neck and torso. He got 13 stitches in his hand, 13 in his neck and a few near his chest. “I believe God saved me, despite so much blood loss, I was able to stand,” he said.
