A Manchester, England man was arriving in a mosque for evening prayers when he was viciously assaulted by a knife-wielding attacker from behind. 58-year-old Nasser Kurdy is a surgeon and was just heading to prayer when someone approached him from behind and stabbed him in the back of the neck. Other worshipers had already arrived at the Altrincham Islamic Centre and were inside at the time of the attack which occurred around 6 pm Sunday evening.

The victim has been released from the hospital and is expected to fully recover but he is lucky there was no nerve or spinal cord damage. The mosque where the attack took place is located on Grove Lane in Altrincham. The authorities are treating the attack as a hate crime and two suspects have been taken into custody in connection with the attack. Police arrested a 54-year-old man and a 32-year-old man and they remain in police custody for questioning. Russ Jackson is the Assistant Chief Constable in Altrincham and said, "This is a very nasty and unprovoked attack against a much-loved local man."

A friend of Dr. Kurdy named Dr. Khalid Anis was with him moments after the attack and described what happened, "He said he noticed someone cross the road and then somebody just attacked him from behind." Dr. Anis went on to say, "There were definitely abusive comments made - obviously he was in shock at the time, he had just been stabbed so the detail of those comments I don't know but there were definitely abusive comments made by the attackers at the door of the mosque."
