Saudi student dies after assault in Wisconsin

     A Saudi student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout was attacked early Sunday near campus and later died from the injuries Monday afternoon.

   Hussain Saeed Alnahdi, a 24 years old man from Buraydah, Saudi Arabia, had come to the university of Wisconsin-Stout to study business administration in 2015. Unfortunately, Hussain tragically passed away Monday afternoon due to injuries sustained from an attack the day before outside Topper’s Pizza in downtown Menomonie, Wisconsin. He was immediately taken to Mayo Clinic Health System in Menomonie, and then transferred to by helicopter to Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire where he died.

   Witnesses at the scene claim that Hussain was assaulted by a 6’ white male at 2 a.m., who then fled the scene leaving a bloodied and unconscious Alnahdi.

   It is not known whether it’s a hate crime towards Muslims or not, as no arrests have been made, but the crime had generated fear among the Muslim community the city. RIP Hussain.
