WASHINGTON
The New York police have initiated a hate crime investigation against Stuart Seldowitz, a former Obama administration adviser, following disturbing incidents captured on video.
Seldowitz, 64, a routine customer at a street cart on 83rd Street and 2nd Avenue, New York, near his Upper East Side residence, was filmed hurling Islamophobic abuse at a food vendor.
In three separate videos shared on Twitter, he was filmed threatening the vendor, asking him if he was a “rapist” and telling him to “learn English so you don’t have to work in a cart”.
