NEW YORK -- A New York City transit worker who is Muslim was pushed down the stairs at Grand Central Terminal by a man who called her a terrorist, authorities said.

The assault took place on Monday morning as the victim, 45, was heading to work on the subway, CBS New York reported. The suspect followed her off the train and shoved her down the stairs, police said.

Sources told CBS New York the suspect allegedly called the victim a “terrorist” and said she shouldn’t be working in the city. She was wearing a Muslim head covering at the time of the assault, and was treated at a Manhattan hospital for ankle and knee injuries.

Authorities say a good Samaritan intervened, and police are looking for the man who committed the crime.

The assault marked the latest in a string of incidents in which Muslim women were seemingly attacked because of their faith. On Saturday, a man harassed and threatened an off-duty police officer who was wearing a Muslim head covering in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, authorities said.

The officer, Aml Elsokary, had encountered a man who was yelling and pushing her 16-year-old son. She tried to intervene, according to police.

Police said the suspect, 36-year-old Christopher Nelson, said to her, “ISIS [expletive], I will cut your throat, go back to your country,” CBS New York reported.

It's even worse for Sikh men who wear turbans. They aren't even Muslims.

Revolting - ya'll Americans need to COUNTER ACT THIS ASAP! If any of your family or friends even make a little joke, you need to call them the f**k out.

Staying silent and doing nothing is just as bad.

sex and race doesn't make someone a terrorist

however, choosing to follow an idea that would justify such acts, does

horrible to see such violent harassment in NYC. The person needs to learn their manners instead of committing such disgusting act on someone

How strange you should make such a comment when there was no mention of his race in the article.

Enjoy your WP for racist assumptions

Her attacker — who cops believe to be a Hispanic man around 5 feet, 10 inches tall, wearing a black jacket — followed her into the station and pushed her down a flight of stairs, injuring her ankle and her knee, police said.
