New York: A Muslim student was allegedly assaulted aboard a US subway train by three drunk white men, who screamed “Donald Trump!" and hurled anti-Islam slurs before trying to rip her hijab off, the latest in a slew of incidents in which headscarf-clad women have been targeted.The trio tried to rip off Yasmin Seweid’s hijab, calling the 18-year-old a “terrorist” and shouting Trump’s name.

The incident that took place on Thursday is being investigated by NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force. The police are reviewing surveillance video to identify the men involved.Seweid said she was stunned by the assault and the fact that no one in the subway car came to her aid.“I heard them say something loudly, something about Donald Trump... I also heard them say the word terrorist and I sort of got a little scared,” Seweid was quoted as saying.
