Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, shown on video assaulting Shohel Mahmud after he began reciting prayer in Arabic

A New York woman who pepper-sprayed a Muslim Uber driver while he was praying has been indicted by the Manhattan district attorney on hate crime charges.

Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, is shown in a surveillance video repeatedly pepper-spraying her Uber driver, Shohel Mahmud. The assault took place in August on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, near the corner of east 65th Street and Lexington Avenue, shortly after Mahmud began reciting a prayer in Arabic.

Guilbeault’s fellow passenger, an unnamed woman, is seen trying to prevent her from continuing the assault.

    Hey squid, I know you can read. What the fuck is your problem? You get off on making shit up like the rest of these bums now too? I’ve already said there’s no excuse for pepper spray of violence MANY times in this thread. People just keep trying to imply there’s some bullshit xenophobic message behind me expressing I don’t want people praying around me.

    Fuck, you’re such a disappointment. I thought you were better than that.

        I mean, I don’t think they’re ‘some dumbass,’ I don’t know them well enough, but I’m not especially torn up.

        Some of us actually engage with each other rather frequently because of how small the active user base really is.

            What did I say? I mean I’ve been having lots of engagement with people today. Mostly people pretending I have something against Muslims and then telling me what else I must think based on their imaginary impression of me.
