The New York City Police Department arrested a man Sunday for allegedly threatening an off-duty Muslim NYPD officer who was wearing her hijab, CBS New York reported.

Christopher Nelson, 36, of Brooklyn, was charged with menacing as a hate crime and aggravated harassment, according to media reports.

Aml Elsokary was parking her car in Brooklyn Saturday evening when she spotted someone shoving and yelling at her 16-year-old son, according to a police report cited by outlets.

The unarmed Elsokary confronted the suspect, who allegedly told her, “ISIS (expletive), I will cut your throat go back to your country.” During the encounter, Elsokary did not identify herself as an officer, Associated Press noted from a police account.

The suspect fled the scene. However, cops apparently identified him on surveillance video.

In 2014, Elsokary was praised for her courage after she carried a 1-year-old girl from a burning apartment building.
