A New York woman has been handed hate crime charges after pepper-spraying her Muslim Uber driver while he was reportedly praying in Arabic.
Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, was arrested in August in Manhattan after she was caught on camera pepper-spraying her driver, Shohel Mahmud, while still in the car. Guilbeault has since been charged with second-degree assault as a hate crime, third-degree assault as a hate crime and second-degree aggravated harassment, as reported by The Guardian.
