On February 5, 2006 The Appeal-Democrat reported, "An 80-year-old East Indian man sustained a fractured hip after he apparently was knocked off his bicycle by unknown assailants in Yuba City.
Shawna Pavey, spokeswoman for the Yuba City Police Department, said Yuba City resident Harbans Singh was reportedly riding his bike at 4:51 p.m. Saturday on Winship Road near Garden Highway, when four or five occupants of a maroon-colored Chevrolet Tahoe sport utility vehicle began throwing rocks at him.
Pavey said none of the rocks hit Singh, so he ignored the men - described as either Hispanic or white males between 25 and 30 years old - and continued riding. They drove ahead of Singh to the corner of Winship and Main Streets and stopped the vehicle, where one man got out and allegedly pushed Singh, causing him to fall off his bicycle... Pavey said that while the incident was not classified as a hate crime at this time, officers are investigating the incident and the status could change. There are specific criteria that denote hate crimes, and so far there is not enough evidence to substantiate it as such a crime, she added."
