Elected leaders in the Bronx joined together Tuesday to denounce an attack on a Muslim immigrant and call for the arrest of those responsible. NY1's Michael Herzenberg filed the following report.

Mujibur Rahman spoke through an interpreter just days after two men attacked him.

"They came and they started to punch me on my face, and blood was coming out from my nose and my face," Rahman said through the interpreter.

Surveillance video shows the masked males after the beating. The 43-year-old victim says they yelled "ISIS, ISIS," apparently referring to the Islamic State terrorist group.

"This is a peaceful man, this is a family man, and I want these individuals that committed this crime to remember that face because this will be the last person that will be assaulted in our community because of his religious faith," said Assemblyman Luis SepĂșlveda of the Bronx.

Elected leaders stood with clergy to denounce the assailants and the attack, which police are investigating as a possible hate crime.

"You're not tough. You're a coward. You are stupid. You are all idiots," said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. "And you want to show me a real man? A real man is what Mr. Rahman was doing, picking up his niece every day from this school right here."

Rahman, a Bangladeshi immigrant, was picking up his 9-year-old niece from an after-school program at PS 119. The school itself is diverse. She is now scared to leave the house at all.

"She didn't want to come to school, but we said come, go today to school," said one person at the rally. "She did come today, yeah."

Leaders of the Bronx Bangladeshi community rallied outside the school before the politicians came. They said the assault was part of a growing number of bias attacks against Muslims nationwide, and they blamed the rhetoric of Donald Trump, who, while running for president, has suggested banning Muslims from entering the U.S. because of fears about terrorism.

"Donald Trump is the one who's inciting this, and we must condemn it," said one person at the rally. "We are in America. We are a diversity community. We love each other. We don't hate each other.

Police are in the school today and around the neighborhood.
