An NYPD officer was physically attacked and called a "Muslim bitch"
as colleagues attempted to rip off the hijab she was wearing, a new
lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court alleges.
Officer Danielle Alamrani, who became a cop in 2006 and converted to Islam a year later, claims in her suit dated Feb. 2 that once she started wearing the headscarf on duty, her colleagues refused to work with her.
In 2010, a sergeant joked in front of fellow
officers that Alamrani should not "detonate on patrol," a comment that
drew laughter, according to court documents. And on Christmas day in
2012, two officers allegedly attacked Alamrani at the precinct and tried
to rip off her hijab, the lawsuit states.
