Case Against Muslim Man Charged In LA Synagogue Ramming Attack Suspended

Officials say criminal proceedings against a Seattle man accused of trying to run over two Jewish men outside a Los Angeles synagogue have been suspended amid questions about his mental competency.

The Los Angeles Times on Friday cites records that show Mohamed Abdi Mohamed was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2015. The newspaper says the 32-year-old has been treated at mental health facilities in Washington state twice in recent years.

Prosecutors say a mental competency hearing is scheduled Dec. 14.

Mohamed is charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Police say he yelled anti-Semitic remarks at the pair on Nov. 23, made a U-turn and drove at the men, who were on a sidewalk. Nobody was hurt.

He was arrested after crashing into another car in the largely Jewish Wilshire-area.
