Frisco Man Charged in Islamic Center Security Guard Stabbing

A stabbing incident occurred at the Islamic Center of Frisco, where Malik Davis, a 26-year-old man and regular attendee at the mosque, attacked security guard Omar Yaqoob with a machete during prayer. The victim sustained severe lacerations but is now recovering at home after hospital treatment. Police quickly apprehended Davis, who had taken the guard's firearm during the assault but discarded it before officers arrived; he faces charges of aggravated assault and firearm theft with a $60,000 bond. Authorities have stated that the investigation does not indicate the attack was motivated by hate, and the Islamic Center described the event as isolated, with normal activities resuming shortly after. Witnesses played a key role in helping police locate and detain the suspect. The Frisco Police Department continues to investigate and encourages anyone with additional information to come forward.
