Muslim woman assaulted at JFK airport; man charged with hate crimes

A Massachusetts man who yelled that President Donald Trump "will get rid of all of you" faces nine hate crime charges for assaulting a female Muslim airline employee at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, authorities said.

Robin Rhodes, 57, of Worcester is accused of assaulting Rabeeya Khan, who was wearing a hijab, or head scarf, while working at Delta Airlines' Sky Lounge on Wednesday evening, prosecutors said on Thursday in a statement.

Rhodes, who was waiting for a connecting flight home after arriving from Aruba, approached the door of the office where Khan was working and said, "Are you sleeping? Are you praying? What are you doing?"

He punched the door, which struck Khan's chair, and then he threatened her and kicked her in the right leg, according to the statement by Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
