THE BRONX — A woman hurled anti-Muslim slurs at another woman on a Bronx street — telling her, “I’ll kill you Muslims,” in what police are investigating as a hate crime, police sources said.

The suspect made the unprovoked threat on Unionport Road and East Tremont Avenue April 28 about 12:45 p.m., the NYPD said.

She also told the woman, who was dressed in traditional Muslim garb, “Get out of the country,” before fleeing, sources said.

The suspect is described as 50 years old and was last seen wearing a black jacket with a pink stripe on the sleeves. She had on a beige hat, khaki pants and was carrying a purple handbag, according to police.

The NYPD's Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
