Muslim Woman Lied About Being Slashed In Face And Called ‘Terrorist’ (UPDATE)

Source: Huffington Post

Muslim woman lied about an assailant in Manhattan who slashed her face and called her a terrorist, police said early on Friday.

The woman initially claimed that she was walking near Wall Street during rush hour on Thursday when a man came up behind her, grabbed her arm, and slashed a 2-inch gash into her cheek.

“She reported that when he slashed her, he made a statement to the effect that she was a terrorist, and he continued to flee northbound on Broadway,” NYPD Assistant Chief William Aubry said at the time.

But after police could find no witnesses or footage of the incident, the 20-year-old student admitted that she cut herself, according to the New York Daily News.

That's the only thing that makes sense. She had the cut! How did it get there unless what she claimed before she claimed it wasn't true was true?

are mobilized for such reports. What if she had been telling the truth? Pretty frightening to have some one randomly slashing people! It may even have been federal types.
