“I offered to shake his hand, to bring the unpleasantness to an end. That is when he punched me, and knocked my turban off my head.”

This is Navjot Sawhney, a London-based engineer who is currently travelling through Europe.

While stopping over in Poland for the weekend, Sawhney went to a club called Shakers with a few of his friends.

Sawhney told BuzzFeed that while all his friends were allowed to enter the club, he wasn’t. According to him, the bouncer said that since he was wearing a turban, it meant he was a “terrorist”.

"All of my friends with whom I was visiting the club – including my best friend Steve (a white, British student) – were permitted entry," Sawhney told BuzzFeed. "Only I was turned away. When I asked why, the bouncer told me it was because of my dress code. Steve pointed out that he and I were dressed identically. The bouncer replied that I was wearing a turban, and that meant I was a terrorist."

After a discussion with the bouncer and an attempt to end the situation, the bouncer punched Sawhney, resulting in his turban falling to the ground.
