Assault and unlawful imprisonment are among the charges for the alleged attack at JFK airport

A Massachusetts man has been charged with hate crimes for allegedly kicking a Muslim worker at New York's JFK airport and shouting expletives at her.

Robin Rhodes, 57, is accused of saying "Trump... will get rid of all of you." and blocking the woman from leaving her office in the Delta Sky Lounge.

Assault and unlawful imprisonment are among the hate crimes charges he faces, the Queens District Attorney said.

He faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

Hate crime 'surge' after Trump win

The Delta airlines employee, who wears a heard scarf or hijab, was sitting in her office on Wednesday evening when Mr Rhodes is alleged to have come up to the door, sworn at her, punched the door, blocked the doorway and kicked her in the right leg.

When another individual intervened and she then left the office, he is alleged to have followed her and got down on his knees in an imitation of Muslim prayer.

"[Expletive deleted] Islam, [Expletive deleted] ISIS, Trump is here now. He will get rid of all of you. You can ask Germany, Belgium and France about these kind of people. You will see what happens," he is accused of shouting.

NEW YORK: A Massachusetts man who chased and assaulted a hijab wearing Muslim airline employee at New York's Kennedy Airport is facing hate crime charges.

The Queens District Attorney's Office says 57-year-old Robin Rhodes, of Worchester, was waiting for a flight to Massachusetts Wednesday night when he approached Delta employee Rabeeya Khan, who wears a hijab, while she was sitting in her office.

Prosecutors say Rhodes asked Khan if she was praying. He then punched the door and kicked her leg. Khan fled and prosecutors say Rhodes followed her, got to his knees as if he was praying, cursed Islam and shouted "Trump is here now. He will get rid of you."

Rhodes has been charged with assault, unlawful imprisonment, menacing and harassment as hate crimes. It's unclear if he has an attorney who can comment

According to some people it is just an incident. Nothing to worry about.
