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 former employer, the public relations and marketing firm D Pagan Communications, wrote on X it is aware of her actions and “don’t condone this behavior”.

    Racist is ignorant. Yes, Xtians are bad. Muslims kind of take that sociopathy with some ridiculous excessive limitless abuse though. I despise Xtians and they should all die too but Muslims are cutthroat and will just fucking kill you right now for not wearing mask.

    You don’t get it, sucker. Preying is to stop you from listening to God. IT’S GOD. The only thing missing is your choice. Sucker.
