'Don't hit my brother'
Panicked Surrey man begs for his brother's life in a swarming at a local school yard

A 23-year-old man cried uncontrollably last night as he recalled the dying words of his brother minutes after he was stabbed in a swarming in Surrey.
"My hands are cold, I am freezing -- I want a glass of water," a dying Ranjit Brar, 25, told his brother Daljit.
Ranjit was bleeding profusely from knife wounds in the cold front yard of a neighbour's home where he had gone for help after being repeatedly knifed by a gang of young people in a park near the 7500-block 124 Street about 11 p.m. Monday.
Daljit, surrounded by friends and relatives, cried yesterday as he described how a stroll in the park with his brother and their two pitbull pups turned into a murderous nightmare.
Daljit said he asked Ranjit, who was away from his job as a security guard at Vancouver's Kingsgate Mall because of a back injury, if he wanted to walk the dogs.
He said Ranjit was out of the house first with the two dogs, who were not leashed.
"A guy was walking across the sidewalk and the dogs went and sniffed his feet out and my brother called the dogs back and nothing happened," said Daljit.
Then the dogs again ran and sniffed the man.
"As my dogs were half-way there I called them back and said, 'Hey, hey, come back' and he (the man who had attracted the attention of the two dogs) said why are you trying to rile them up," said Daljit.
"I said I am not trying to rile them up, I am just calling them back."
Daljit said he and his brother made a single round of nearby Strawberry Hill Elementary School and were coming out of a cul-de-sac when they saw about 10 or 15 men approaching.
Daljit said he sensed danger and told his brother to run for it.
"I said to my brother 'Run, run,' " he said. "Then three guys were running after me and I got hit in the back with a bat."
But Ranjit couldn't keep up because he was limping from his back injury.
"Then I looked back and the whole field was full of people and they were all ganging up on my brother."
Daljit said he saw the group kneeling by Ranjit, stabbing him, and he yelled at them to stop.
"I kept telling them not to hurt my brother," he cried. "I said you will kill my brother. I said please somebody call the police, but nobody did anything.
"I kept screaming, I kept screaming 'Don't hit my brother.' I said, somebody please call the police.
"They took their time. I was yelling at them to please leave him alone, but they just took their time and they hit him one more time and slowly walked away."
In a panic, Daljit said he ran to his home less than a block away and got his car to take Ranjit to hospital.
But Ranjit had got to his feet and gone to a neighbour's door for help.
Daljit said he got out of his car and started screaming his brother's name when he couldn't spot him.
"I kept screaming Ranj, and I heard him say 'Help.' "
He found Ranjit bleeding near the neighbour's front door, and that's when the dying man said he was freezing and wanted a glass of water.
"By that time, the cops were there and they told me to get into the back of their car so they could get statements."
That was the last time Daljit saw Ranjit alive. Ranjit died on the way to hospital.
Their mother, Charanjit Kaur Brar, a 45-year-old widow, cried as she listened to Daljit tell the horrifying story of his brother's last moments.
"I want to see for them what they did to my son," she said in broken English. "In five minutes, I lost everything."
Neighbour Harbhajan Clair said she was shocked by the killing.
"When I came home from work I saw police cars and the roads were closed," said Clair, who arrived home from her night shift job at about 1:45 a.m.
Surrey Mounties say it's unclear why a man with no criminal history, unknown to police, was stabbed to death while out walking his dogs.
"We're not sure what the motive was, or why it turned into a physical altercation," said Const. Tim Shields.
Mounties arrested a man they believe was at the scene, but have not charged him.

HIPPI:
They're white, of course it's racially motivated.
