A 58-year-old Muslim doctor in the UK was stabbed in his neck on his way to a mosque by two men who shouted “abusive” comments, media reports said on Monday.
Nasser Kurdy, was attacked yesterday with a knife from behind near the Altrincham Islamic Centre in Greater Manchester. Two men, aged 32 and 54, were arrested within an hour of the attack, which the force is treating as a hate crime but not terrorism related, Greater Manchester Police said.
“This is a very nasty and unprovoked attack against a much-loved local man,” Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson said.
