Muslim man stabbed multiple times in Utah hate crime, police say
The suspect told the police he "intends to kill Muslims" and that he constituted a "danger to the public if released based on his violent actions … ideologies and pre-planned mass casualty events."
A Muslim kiosk worker was stabbed multiple times at the Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City, Utah, on Monday. Police arrested Peter Michael Larsen, 48, who allegedly told them he "intends to kill Muslims" and targeted the victim due to his religion. The victim, who sustained 15 stab wounds and is in critical condition, was attacked after the suspect inquired about his religion. Bystanders subdued Larsen before police arrived. Muslim rights groups condemned the incident, which occurs amid rising Islamophobia in the US.
