New York police arrested a former US State Department official after he was captured on video calling an Egyptian street vendor a terrorist and saying the death of 4,000 Palestinian children “wasn’t enough”, Reuters reports.
Stuart Seldowitz, 64, was arrested on charges of aggravated harassment, hate crime stalking, stalking causing fear, and stalking at a place of employment, police said in a statement.
“A 24-year-old male victim stated to police that an individual approached him at his workplace multiple times and made anti-Islamic statements multiple times on different dates causing the victim to feel afraid and annoyed,” police said.
