WASHINGTON (WJLA) — A video captured on Oct. 18, now resurfacing on news sites, on a Washington, D.C. metro train shows a Muslim woman being threatened by a man.
In the video, a man is heard asking the woman, “How would you like to have your head beheaded?”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, which shared the video, claims the date for the incident was Oct. 18.
CAIR Research and Advocacy Coordinator Farah Afify spoke on behalf of the woman, who lives in Virginia.
According to CAIR, the woman behind the camera was riding the train on her way to a protest in late October.
She was wearing a Kufiya, which is a traditional Palestinian scarf,” Afify said. “She was also wearing a shirt that had the Palestinian flag on it.
The woman also claims the man flashed a gun at her, but that is not seen on the video.
