A Muslim teen is being hailed as a hero today after chasing down a man who struck an Orthodox Jewish woman in the face as she traveled on a southbound Q train.

The incident took place Jan. 27, 2016 just before 8 PM.  

Police said that 31 year old Rayvon Jones, a passenger on the train, struck a fellow passenger in the face with a closed fist as she sat on the train.  The two did not appear to know each other, and the woman suffered lacerations and bruises to her face.

Q train passenger 19 year old Ahmed Khalifa witnessed the entire attack. He said that the incident occurred without provocation and decided to act after seeing the woman’s face bleeding.

“I felt bad for her,” Khalifa told VIN News.  “She was innocent. She did nothing wrong.”
