Man unleashes verbal attack on Muslim Uber driver branding him a ‘terrorist’ saying he’ll ‘get deported’ now ‘Trump is President’
The man hurled abuse while sitting in a car next to the driver at traffic lights in New York
A MAN has been caught on camera unloading on a Muslim Uber driver telling him he will 'get deported' now Trump is going to be US President.
The man, who was driving in New York, was filmed as he started hurling abuse through the window of his car in New York as both were sitting at a stop light.
In the footage, he can be heard calling the Uber driver an "Arab", a "terrorist" and and "loser."
He is heard swearing as he shouts: “Trump is president, (expletive)! So you can kiss your f***ing visa goodbye, scumbag.
“They’ll deport you soon. Don’t worry, you f***ing terrorist.”
Chris Cody, who was in Uber after the verbal attack happened was given the footage after his driver told him about his shocking encounter.
He is a professor at St John's University and can speak Arabic.
He struck up a conversation with the man, who is known as Mohammed.
Cody told the his driver was surprised to meet an American who said “hello” in his native language, and didn't have any problems with Muslims.
He said his driver told him: “'Right before I picked you up, I had a horrible incident.'"
He then showed Cody the video, which he had recorded on his phone - the professor recalled that in the account Mohammed and the abusive driver pulled up next to each other at the traffic lights.
The man can be heard cursing after seeing Mohammed, who recorded the incident with his phone.

He then held up his middle finger as he drove away.
Cody said Mohammed told him there was no reason for the verbal attack: “I could tell he was upset. He didn’t tell me exactly why he decided to take a video. I think he was just so shocked by what happened.”
