Man Stabbed Outside Queens, NY Mosque By Attacker Shouting Anti-Muslim Comments

Bashar Mohammod, 57, was opening the Masjid Al-Saaliheen mosque for prayer early Sunday morning when he was repeatedly stabbed by a would-be killer shouting anti-Muslim comments.

The attacker, described as a Hispanic man in his 40s, stabbed Mohammod repeatedly while shouting anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim slurs.

The victim might have lost a finger in the attack, said a friend, Mohammad Omar, who visited Mohammod at Queens General Hospital where he was treated and released.

“The person told him that he doesn’t like Muslims,” said Omar. “That person was trying to kill him.”

No arrests have been made.
