(NY Post) A NYC taxi driver was hit with a hate crime for allegedly beheading a statue depicting a young Jesus outside a Queens Catholic church, prosecutors said.
Jamshaid Choudhry, 44, of Hollis, was arrested Thursday night and charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime and other related crimes for allegedly decapitating the statue outside of the Holy Family Roman Catholic Church in Fresh Meadows on June 30.
The twisted, caught-on-camera tantrum began casually.
A sacrilegious scoundrel driving an SUV taxi pulled up to the front of the church around 5:30 a.m. and calmly crossed the street, before removing a shoe and charging toward white marble statues of Mary, Joseph and Jesus, according to police and footage released by the Diocese of Brooklyn.
