(CNN) An Arab teenager in New York was assaulted with a baseball bat earlier this month in what the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling "an anti-immigrant, anti-Arab, and racially charged attack." The teen was attacked in Staten Island by a neighbor over a parking dispute, a police source told CNN. Hubert Reyes told CNN there is no mention of racial epithets in the police report. Elsayed told CNN that he believes he told police about the epithets. "The NYPD and District Attorney have an obligation to consider all evidence during an investigation and when charging a suspect," Mohamed told CNN.
