“Go back to where you come from:" P.A. towing company accused of racism
When his car battery died, 18-year-old Jibril Sheikh just wanted to get a boost and get home out of the cold. Unfortunately, when he tried to contact Prince Albert’s Astro Towing for help, Sheikh was met with less than helpful words.
Late last Saturday, Sheikh accidentally left his lights on while spending time with friends at Kinsmen Park. After his friends were unable to boost his vehicle, Sheikh called Astro for assistance.
Sheikh’s issues started when the Astro truck arrived. Stranded without his wallet or any cash, Sheikh told the driver he would need to visit the bank to pay him for the work.
“He told me he doesn’t want to do all that,” Sheikh said. “He just drove away.”
