Two suspects allegedly shouted out “ISIS! ISIS!” as they attacked a 43-year-old man in the Bronx on Friday night. According to police, the victim was forced to the ground and suffered bruises to his head and face as he was punched and kicked multiple times.
The attack took place around 5:30 p.m. at Watson Avenue and Pugsley Avenue. News 12 reportsthat the victim, a Bangladeshi man named Mujibur Rahman, believes he was attacked on account of his traditional Islamic clothes and tupi. After his attackers fled, Rahman was taken to Jacobi Hospital, where he was treated and released.
The Times adds that Rahman had been walking with his 9-year-old niece at the time of the attack. She suffered no injuries.
