On Friday, Yasmin Seweid
[photo], 19, the Muslim college student at Baruch College who lied to police,
telling them she had been harassed on the New York subway by white men who
attempted to seize her hijab, pleaded guilty to falsely reporting an incident and disorderly conduct.
Seweid had claimed the
incident occurred on the No. 6 train on Dec. 1, 2016. She told The New York Daily News that
three drunk white men screamed “Donald Trump!” and hurled anti-Islam slurs at
her, then tried to rip her hijab off of her head. She stated, “I heard them say
something very loudly, something about Donald Trump ... I also heard them say
the word terrorist and I sort of got a little scared.” She added that they
said, “Oh look, a (expletive) terrorist … Get the hell out of the country! You
don’t belong here!” She said when she tried to ignore them, they pulled on her
bag to get her attention and the strap broke. “That’s when I turned around and
said ‘can you please leave me alone,’ and they started laughing,” she said.
Her story continued that she
walked to the other end of the train; the men followed her and tried to pull
off her hijab, yelling, “Take that thing off!” She said, “I put my hand on top
of my head to hold it. Then I turned around and screamed ‘what the
(expletive).’”
Seweid also took a swipe at President-elect Donald Trump, commenting, “The
president-elect just promotes this stuff and is very anti-Muslim, very
Islamophobic, and he’s just condoning it.”
Seweid’s father, informed of
the supposed incident, said, “Nobody even offered to help an 18-year-old girl.
That means something. Her phone was dying. You offer help — it doesn’t matter
the race, religion, or the country.”
Days later, Seweid went missing, prompting a search for her.
Seweid was arrested on
December 14 on charges of filing a false report and obstructing governmental
administration. Police sources stated Seweid lied because she didn’t want to
get in trouble for breaking her curfew after being out late drinking with
friends.
In court, Seweid wrote an
apology that was read by the prosecutor that read, "I was stupid. I plan
to continue to find ways to better myself." She had already stated that
she wasted police resources when she made the claim, which she made because she
had missed her family’s curfew.
Seweid must take six months of
counseling and complete three days of community service.
