(NY Post) A Muslim firefighter who collected $224,000 in a settlement from the city for alleged harassment — including being fed pork by fellow Bravest — threatened to “kill everyone in the firehouse” three times, new court records allege.
As previously reported, Raheem Hassan, 31, first made the threat on Dec. 20, 2017, to his then-supervisor, Lt. David Hughes, authorities say.
But Hughes did not call the cops. Instead, he alerted the FDNY’s Counseling Services Unit, according to papers filed by his lawyer.
“I don’t want him arrested. He needs psychological help,” Hughes insisted, according to his lawyer, Steven Rabinowitz.
Hassan “repeated the threat” to a counselor, the papers state. The counselor informed an FDNY fire marshal, who called the NYPD.
