    The NY Dailynews (http://bit.ly/1DQZEjm) reports Baila Sebrow, 51, hailed a cab for a ride from the Carlton Hotel Sunday morning, and after he started driving, Sebrow says the driver asked her if she was Jewish. When she said yes, the driver responded with “all Jews must die.” Sebrow says the driver started driving very fast, and at one point, she asked him to take her back to the hotel. He did, but insisted that she pay her fare.

    In a lawsuit filed by Sebrow’s lawyer in Manhattan Supreme Court Monday, details state that the driver “continued to yell wildly about ‘death to Jews’ while making a gun gesture towards Sebrow with his fingers.”

    Sebrow then called 911, and when police arrived, they told her she had to pay the $30 cab fare and would have to make the rest of her complaints with the city Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC).

    An NYPD spokesman confirmed police response to the incident and said that Sebrow was “combative and belligerent” with police.

    What is the news? that a Muslim taxi driver (they all seem to be) is anti-Semitic or the NYPD knuckleheads (who couldn’t pass Sanitation exam) were as usual USELESS? Maybe Dov I love tv cameras Hikind who loves NYPD so much can call Bratton?

    Who wouldn’t be combative with police who forces someone to pay for a ride that didn’t occur.

    Anyone believes her?

    It might be true, but if she has no evidence, she has to pay the cab. You can’t give everyone a free pass, if they claim the driver made antisemitic comments.

    Don’t the cabs have video cameras…

    Should be easy to find out what really happened…

    And if he was making terroristic threats…

    All cabs have a dash camera, so if the driver didn’t tamper with it they could pull it up

    the driver of the cab, identified in court documents only as MD N. Mia, also called 911, police said. MD is a common abbreviation for Mohammed.
