Sheniqua Joseph was also arrested by police for disorderly conduct during the incident.
On a New York City subway train, Stephan Stowe, 17, and a group of eight friends approached a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke aboard a subway train. “Assalamu Alaikum,” Stowe said to the man, using a common greeting among Muslims.
The man ignored Stowe, and he became combative. “You think you’re better than me?” the teen allegedly said. “We are cousins.” “No we’re not,” The man shot back, and told Stowe to leave him alone. The suspect then started hurling ethnic slurs and called the man disrespectful, according to court papers.
