Teen made up story about pro-Trump anti-Muslim attack on subway
 A Muslim teen who claimed a trio of drunks had taunted her as a "terrorist" on a Manhattan subway train has admitted she made the story up, sources told The Post on Wednesday.The woman, Yasmin Seweid, 18, is being charged with filing a false report, according to a high-ranking police source. Seweid had claimed the hateful drunks shouted "Trump! Trump!" and called her a "terrorist" as they tried to steal her headscarf. "Go back to your country!" she said they shouted during the alleged Dec. 1 attack. But inconsistencies in her account surfaced once cops tried to confirm her story by pulling surveillance video. Investigators did find footage that showed her in some of the places where she said she was, said the source. But they weren't entirely consistent with her story. Hate-crime investigators then called in the Baruch College student to work on another sketch of her "attackers" Wednesday and confronted her with the inconsistencies, another source said. That's when she cracked, admitting that she had been out drinking with friends and made up the attack story to distract her angry father, sources said. Posted by: Frank G 2016-12-14 |
