		</div><p>A man kicked and hurled abuse at a Muslim woman airline employee at New York&#8217;s John F Kennedy Airport, telling her new US president Donald Trump &#8220;will get rid of all of you&#8221;, authorities have said.</p>
<p>Queens District Attorney&#8217;s Office said Robin Rhodes, of Worchester, Massachusetts, had arrived from Aruba and was waiting for a connecting flight to his home state on Wednesday night, when he approached Delta employee Rabeeya Khan, who wears a hijab, while she was in her office.</p>
<p>District attorney Richard Brown said Rhodes came up to the door and launched a profanity-laced tirade, asking the woman if she was praying, before punching the door, which hit the back of Ms Khan&#8217;s chair.<br />
Ms Khan asked Rhodes what she had done to him and he replied: &#8220;You did nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>He then swore at her and kicked her in the leg, Mr Brown said.</p>
<p>When another person tried to calm him down, Mr Brown said Rhodes moved away from the door and Ms Khan fled the office.</p>
<p>But Rhodes followed her, got down on his knees and began to bow down, imitating a Muslim praying, shouted obscenities and said, &#8220;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 see what happens&#8221;, Mr Brown said.</p>
<p>At the time of his arrest, Rhodes allegedly told police: &#8220;I guess I am going to jail for disorderly conduct.</p>
<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t tell if it was a man or woman because their back was to me and they had something covering their head.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rhodes was charged with assault, unlawful imprisonment, menacing and harassment as hate crimes.<br />
&#8220;The bigotry and hatred that the defendant is accused of manifesting and acting upon have no place in a civilised society &#8211; especially in Queens County, the most culturally diverse county in the nation,&#8221; Mr Brown said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Crimes of hate will never be tolerated here and when they do regrettably occur, those responsible will be brought to justice.&#8221;</p>
