In Edison, New Jersey, there have been a series of reported attacks at an apartment complex which seem to be targeting Indian immigrants. Police in Edison report eight incidents such as assaults and vandalism involving Indian victims at the Durham Woods apartment complex since June, although the number might actually be quite higher since some new immigrants are reluctant to contact the police: Indians in Edison worried by attacks.

For instance, two people were enjoying an evening stroll last August when two juveniles ran up, punched them, and then ran away. What the hell is up with that? We keep hearing reports of these weird random attacks, where folks who are minding their own business—whether fishing or walking or whatever—become targeted with instances of violence. This is ridiculous. The attacks have prompted tenants to call for the police and Mayor Jun Choi to investigate the violence. These are hate crimes, and it needs to stop. That's racist!
