NEW YORK – A Muslim man is hospitalized with face and rib fractures after being attacked by three men outside a mosque in Queens, according to police and CAIR-NY.

Mohamed Rasheed Khan, 59, was leaving the Center for Islamic Studies on Jamaica Avenue on Wednesday night when the attack occurred, CAIR said on Sunday.

Police are looking for three possible suspects and hate crime investigators have been notified, officials said.

Khan suffered a concussion, as well as fractures to his face and ribs, CAIR-NY said. He is scheduled for surgery Monday at Jamaica Hospital Center.

The three suspects didn’t take Khan’s wallet, watch or bicycle and were seen laughing as they left the scene.

“Because of the location of the attack outside a mosque, the Islamic attire of the victim, and because nothing was stolen by the alleged attackers, we urge law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive for this troubling incident,” said CAIR-NY Executive Director Afaf Nasher.
