A
New York City postal worker faces hate crime charges after he allegedly
spat at two Muslim women and threatened to
burn down their mosque. Dainton
Coley, 34, is suspected of bumping into sisters wearing hijabs on a
sidewalk in Brooklyn's Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood before launching
into an anti-Islam tirade.
The
women pushing a baby stroller fled into a nearby store, where Coley was
caught on video surveillance continuing to yell at them inside on
Friday evening.
He was charged with acting in a manner injurious to a child, harassment and menacing as a hate crime.

Coley said:
'I am going to burn your 'f**king' temple,' Coley said, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
One of them woman reportedly told him that he was crazy, but he replied, 'I’m not crazy, I work in the post office'.
He also allegedly called the two sisters 'terrorists', elbowed one and called one a 'n*****'.
At
one point Coley runs off after the woman without a child moves towards
him, though a Council on American-Islamic Relations worker told ABC7 that he said he would be waiting outside.
