Shocking security footage has shown the moment an imam was stabbed in the back as he led morning prayers at a mosque.
The footage from Omar Mosque in Paterson, New Jersey, shows a man getting to his feet as other worshippers drop down to their knees in prayer during the service, which took place on April 9.
Footage appears to show him pulling a knife as he steps over two rows of praying men, making his way toward the imam before plunging the weapon into the unsuspecting imam's back.
