NEW HYDE PARK, LONG ISLAND — Yasmin Seweid, the 18-year-old Long Island resident who said she was attacked by three Trump supporters in a Manhattan subway station last week, has gone missing a week after the attack, according to police on Long Island.

Seweid was last seen leaving her home on foot Wednesday around 8 p.m., police said. A family member then called police on Thursday to report her as missing.

When she left home Wednesday night, Seweid was wearing a black jacket, a black head scarf, a blue sweater and black yoga pants, police said, and was carrying a bag with clothing inside. The missing teen stands around 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds.

Seweid, a reported business major at Baruch College in the Gramercy Park neighborhood, told police she was attacked Thursday, Dec. 1, in the 23rd Street subway station near her school by a trio of white, male 20-somethings who shouted "Donald Trump!" and tried to remove her hijab.

She later wrote about what happened to her on Facebook:

The comment section of her Facebook post has since been inundated by Trump supporters accusing her of making up the story.

Seweid was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to Egyptian parents, according to the Daily News.

Seweid said in an interview with the newspaper that she was on her way home from an event at Baruch College, standing on the 6 train platform, when the three men approached her. “I heard them say something very loudly, something about Donald Trump," she remembered. "... I also heard them say the word terrorist and I sort of got a little scared."

The men continued harassing her on the train, she said, and even broke her purse.

Seweid said the other passengers on the train did nothing. “It made me really sad after when I thought about it,” she told the Daily News. “People were looking at me and looking at what was happening and no one said a thing. They just looked away.”

Detectives are now asking anyone with information regarding Seweid's whereabouts to call the Nassau County Police Department Missing Persons Squad at (516) 573-7347 or 911. All callers will remain anonymous.
