The Muslim teen who claimed three drunks taunted her as a “terrorist†on a Manhattan subway train now admits she lied to cops — and was arrested on Wednesday.
Yasmin Seweid, 18, is charged with obstructing governmental administration and filing a false report, according to a high-ranking police source.
Both charges are misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail.
Seweid, who lives in Nassau County, had claimed the hateful drunks shouted, “Trump! Trump!†and called her a “terrorist†as they tried to steal her headscarf. “Go back to your country!†she said they shouted during the supposed Dec. 1 attack.
But when cops tried to confirm her story by checking surveillance video, they determined that her story didn’t add up.
Hate-crimes investigators called the Baruch College business major in on Wednesday to work on another sketch of her “attackers,†and confronted her with the inconsistencies, another source said.
