Muslim Teen Who Said She Was Verbally Attacked On The Subway Now Reported Missing

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- A Muslim teen who said she was verbally attacked by three drunk men on the subway last week has been reported missing.

Yasmin Seweid, 18, was last seen leaving her New Hyde Park home on Wednesday, police said.

She was wearing a black jacket, blue sweater, black yoga pants, and black head scarf and carrying a bag of clothing.

Last Thursday, Seweid told CBS2's Tracee Carrasco that she was on the 6 train heading home from a school event when she was verbally attacked by the men, who she said made references to Donald Trump and called her an "f-ing terrorist."

"They kept saying, 'you don't belong here, get out of this country, go back to your country,' and finally they came really close and they were like, 'take that rag off your head,'" she said.

Nassau County police said the Missing Person Squad is investigating.

Seweid was described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds.

Police asked anyone with information about her disappearance to call the Nassau County Police Department Missing Persons Squad at 516-573-7347 or call 911.
