ny daily news- A 12-year-old Staten Island boy was charged with felony assault as a hate crime for attempting to rip a religious head scarf off the head of a classmate on Wednesday, sources said.
Osman Daramy attacked the female student outside the Berta Dreyfus Intermediate School in Stapleton about 1 p.m., the sources said.
Osman allegedly punched and kicked the girl before trying to grab the scarf wrapped around her head, sources said. He was unable to remove the hijab during the tussle.
Cops also charged the hellbent schoolboy with aggravated harassment.
Sources said it was not the first time the boy had targeted the young victim and that he has harassed her at least four times in recent months. He was in trouble on Monday after he cut a chunk of hair off another female classmate's head, sources said.
A spokeswoman for the city's Department of Education said disciplinary action against Osman is pending.
Because he is a juvenile, the case will be handled in Family Court.
This kid sounds like a little piece of shit, but I don't think it was a hate crime. This kid sounds more like an equal opportunity bully. He cut the chunk of hair off another girl, and she wasn't Muslim, was she? Go ahead and throw him out of school, lock him up, pistol whip him, I don't care, but don't charge him with a hate crime just because one of the kids he terrorized happened to be Muslim. It's not fair to the other kids he fucked with. They suffered too. The school is just overreacting. It's kind of like the time Cartman hit Token with a rock on South Park, and Cartman was charged with a hate crime because Token was black. Osman isn't some kind of evil racist. He's just your typical Staten Island douche.
