Chaos broke out on the New York subway on Monday when police arrested a Muslim teenager accused of threatening and making anti-semitic taunts towards a Jewish man.
When a pair of NYPD officers arrived to arrest Stephan Stowe, 17, in Brooklyn they had trouble detaining him and the platform filled with an angry mob, loudly shouting at police and filming the arrest on cellphones.
Police then wrestled 22-year-woman Sheniqua Joseph to the ground after she got involved in the incident. She has been charged with disorderly conduct while Stowe was arraigned for hate crimes.
As police tried to arrest Stowe inside the empty subway car an angry crowd gathered, shouting at the officers.
As the policemen radioed for back-up, the group of passengers continued to yell and film the incident on cell phones.
Sheniqua Joseph, 22, appears to be warned a number times by officers but in the fourth minute of the video she is also arrested.
The woman is slammed against the subway wall and is eventually subdued.
She has been charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Stowe was arraigned on eight charges. These include grand larceny, which was charged as a hate crime, resisting arrest and harassment.
