NYC subway mugger shakes Muslim rider, taunts her about Zohran Mamdani: sources

A bigoted subway mugger shook a Muslim woman, threw her to the ground and ominously taunted her over Mayor Zohran Mamdani, cops and sources said.

The victim, 20, was standing on the northbound D train platform at Ninth Avenue and 39th Street in Borough Park around 10:50 a.m. March 17 when the maniac started following her, cops said. 

“It’s funny how terrorists can walk around now,” the goon snarled as he cornered her, according to law enforcement sources. 

“It’s funny how terrorists can walk around now,” the attacker allegedly told the victim, before adding, “The mayor can’t help you now.” NYPD

“The mayor can’t help you now,” he allegedly sneered, in an apparent reference to Mamdani — the first Muslim mayor of the city.

The mugger allegedly grabbed her arms, shook her violently, then threw her to the ground, according to authorities and sources. 

The brute then took the victim’s cell phone and fled, police said. 

It was unclear Tuesday whether the victim – who was treated on the scene for minor injuries – was wearing distinctive religious garb at the time of the attack. 

The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the incident, police said. 

The suspect is described as a male with a light complexion, last seen wearing a black and white jacket, dark-colored pants and black shoes, cops said. 

Footage released by the department shows the ruffian jumping the turnstile on his way into the station.
