A Muslim girl student was attacked at her New York middle school
A Muslim girl student was attacked at her New York middle school by three schoolmates who referred to the girl as a terrorist and tried ripping off her religious headscarf.
The sixth grade girl from the Bronx was playing during recess when three boys allegedly went after her. The boys, who are in the same grade as the girl, allegedly put her in a headlock and punched her as they attempted to take off her headscarf, While beating up the girl, the boys allegedly called her ISIS. Officers responded to a 911 call about the attack which was reported as a bias incident in which three students attacked one other student, but a police report was never taken. The boys were expected to appear at a disciplinary hearing for their alleged actions shortly after the incident, but it was postponed in order to allow the boys’ families to hire legal representation, the school source said.
