Seven Amish men have been charged with hate crimes for cutting the beards and hair of Amish men in a different religious sect.
The men, all family members of bishop Samuel Mullet, Sr., allegedly forcibly restrained multiple Amish men and cut their beards and hair with scissors and battery powered clippers, injuring the men and others who tried to stop the attacks, according to a statement by the Department of Justice.
The attacks grew out of a religious feud between Mullet and the wider church, according to the criminal complaint against the Mullet family.
