(CNN)An elementary school teacher's aide was waiting for a bus in Rosemead, California, when he was brutally attacked on Sunday, suffering a severed finger, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

A man on a bicycle approached Matthew Leung, who is Asian-American, at a bus stop in Rosemead, a suburb of Los Angeles, just after 1 p. m. They exchanged hellos, but about 10 minutes later, the man, unprovoked, attacked Leung, said May Cun, Leung's colleague at Gates Street Elementary School.

Leung shielded his face with his hands during the attack and then he blacked out, Cun told CNN.

Rowena Quijano, who also works with Leung, said she doesn't know if race played a role.

The outpouring is a reflection of Leung's decades of dedication to the school, where he works with transitional kindergarten students, Quijano said.
