New York, U.S. (AhlulBayt News Agency) - A suspect was arrested Sunday in the Brooklyn attack on an off-duty Muslim cop wearing a hijab.
“Go back to your country,” the man yelled at NYPD Officer Aml Elsokary during the incident Saturday.
He also targeted the cop’s 16-year-old son — shoving him and shouting a slur that referenced ISIS — before telling them both, “I will cut your throat! Go back to your country!” sources said.
The incident is being probed as a hate crime.
The suspect, whose name was not released, lives near the scene of the attack, on Ridge Boulevard and 67th Street in Bay Ridge.
Elsokary made headlines in 2014 when she helped rescue an old man and a baby from a burning building.
