St. Paul mosque vandalized Friday morning; 5th mosque attack in Minnesota this year

St. Paul police are investigating after the latest in a string of attacks on mosques in the Twin Cities.

Around 7 a.m. a person wearing a hoodie and a mask is captured by a surveillance camera entering the Masjid Al Sunnah Mosque’s parking lot on Pederson Street in St. Paul.

The person then threw a large rock at the main doors of the mosque.

The shattered door didn’t stop people from attending Friday prayer, though many had concerns after learning about the vandalism.
