An imam was stabbed while leading his congregation in prayer on Sunday at a mosque in Paterson, N.J. The assailant was quickly subdued by worshippers, according to local authorities.

The ugly incident took place inside Omar Mosque in south Paterson around 5:37 a.m. local time on Sunday.

Upon arrival of the police, they found that a 32-year-old man was already apprehended, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia Valdes said in a press release.

The suspect, identified as Serif Zorba, has been arrested and charged with first-degree attempted murder and possession of unlawful weapons.

Imam Sayed Elnakib, 65, was quickly transported to St. Joseph’s University Medical Center.

Mayor André Sayegh, who went to visit Elnakib at the hospital on Sunday afternoon, said the imam was in stable condition despite “suffering some serious wounds.”

At a press conference on Sunday, Sayegh said there will be a heightened police presence at mosques throughout the city to ensure people’s safety in the remaining days of Ramadan.

“You should not be afraid to pray, you should feel safe to pray,” Sayegh added.

Over 200 people were at the mosque at the time of the attack.

The Prosecutor’s Office however did not provide details about the possible motive for the assault but told NPR that the investigation is ongoing.

“While it is unclear what motivated the attacker, there is no justification for violence of any kind, especially in a sacred space,” Council member Al Abdel-aziz, who represents the area where the incident occurred, wrote on Facebook.

The attack comes weeks into Ramadan, a month of fasting and prayer that represents the most sacred time of the year in the Islamic tradition.

The incident also took place a day after the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called for a hate crime investigation into a separate incident at the Dr. Hani Awadallah public school in Paterson.

Dina Sayedahmed, a spokesperson for the chapter, told NPR that the group learned on Friday that the word “Allah” in Dr. Hani Awadallah’s name was defaced with an unknown dark substance. The word “Allah” refers to “God” in Arabic.

The group said it recorded 152 complaints related to anti-Muslim prejudices in 2022.

Paterson is home to one of the highest Muslim populations in the U.S. by percentage, with estimates of Muslims making up about 25,000 to 30,000 of the city’s more than 150,000 people.
