Police have arrested the man who allegedly called a 15-year-old Muslim girl “a terrorist” and threatened to kill her on an MTA bus going through Kew Gardens Hills, authorities said.
Perry Germano, 50, allegedly blew a fuse when the teen’s bag brushed against him on board the crowded Q88 bus at about 9 a.m. April 7, cops said.
“F–k you! F–k your people! You Muslim! You’re a terrorist!” Germano allegedly screamed at the girlwhen the bus was near Kissena Boulevard and the Horace Harding Expressway, sources said.
The teen, who was dressed in traditional Muslim garb, tried to calm Germano by blaming the bumpy ride, but he only grew more aggressive, sources said.
Germano allegedly shoved and spit on the girl before saying, “I’m not scared to hit you with my fist. I will kill you,” according to sources.
He darted off the bus when it was stopped on Kissena Boulevard, authorities said.
Germano was charged with attempted assault, aggravated harassment, and menacing, police said.
He has over 40 prior arrests dating back to the 1980s, including busts for petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
