The comments were disparaging toward Judaism and Israel, court documents state. “I will blow up your store,” Mohamed reportedly said. “I’m going to take care of you, you mother (redacted).” Police said that Mohamed also said, “I’ll call my people to take care of you to shoot you!” He also reportedly said “I will blow up your store in the name of Allah” and “I will take care of people like you!”
After the in-store incident, the employee told police that Mohamed left the store and got into a silver sedan and started driving away. The deli’s owner then returned, and police said he got out and continued to yell and threaten him. At one point, Mohamed started “spitting on the ground around and toward” the owner, Freud wrote.
While police were taking witness statements, Mohamed reportedly called the deli. The owner answered and Mohamed started yelling more ethnic slurs.
