Minneapolis Muslim Attacked in Hate-Crime while Leaving Masjid

From the Minneapolis - St. Paul Star Tribune:

A man leaving a mosque in St. Cloud was assaulted in what police described Sunday as a crime motivated by bias.

The victim, a 26-year-old man, was approached about 2:15 p.m. outside the mosque, in the 600 block of 7th Avenue S., by a white man, later identified as a 33-year-old Isanti, Minn., resident. The suspect has been arrested and was awaiting charges.

The suspect, police said, accused the victim of being a Muslim terrorist. The suspect then shoved the victim and elbowed him in the head, sending his glasses flying.
