Student charged with slashing taxi driver’s face

A US college student who did volunteer work in Afghanistan was charged with slashing a Bangladeshi taxi driver’s neck and face in New York after the driver said he was a Muslim.

It was alleged that Michael Enright uttered an Arabic greeting and told the driver “consider this a checkpoint” before the attack on Tuesday night in the yellow cab on Manhattan’s East Side.

Police said Enright was drunk at the time.
