New York: A 21-year old man was
arraigned Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court, accused of
attempted murder and hate crimes on a Muslim taxi driver, New York
authorities said.
Michael Enright calmly discussed Islam with the cabbie before
slashing him from behind with a utility knife, authorities said.
He faced charges of second-degree attempted murder as a hate crime,
first-degree assault as a hate crime and criminal possession of a
weapon.
Enright, who could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted, was
ordered held without bail.
Prosecutors alleged that the accused waved down a cab driven by
Ahmed Sharif, 43, a Bangladeshi immigrant, Tuesday night in
Manhattan.
After getting in the cab, Enright reportedly discussed cultural and
religious issues, asking if Sharif was Muslim, his observance of the
current Ramadan month of fasting, and how long he had been in the
US.
Then, Enright told the driver "consider this a checkpoint," before
lashing out from the back seat with a knife. He slashed at Sharif's
throat, as the cabbie turned and suffered further wounds to his face
and arms, a prosecutor told the court.
Sharif drove on to find a police officer, who arrested Enright.
Sharif's neck wound was "open halfway across his throat" and could
easily have been fatal, the prosecutor said. "This is a highly
vicious attack on an innocent person based on his religion."
A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told
the Times that Enright was "very drunk" during the incident.
An art student, Enright recently travelled to Afghanistan while
making a documentary about US soldiers, the Times reported. He has
also worked as a volunteer with a New York group that promotes
cross-cultural understanding.
