SECAUCUS -- Two Secaucus men were arrested last week after a Muslim woman told police the pair shouted derogatory statements towards her about her religion, police say.
According to Secaucus Police Det. Sgt. Mike Torres, Carey J. Guillaume, 58, and Anthony A. Rosso, 64, were arrested on Dec. 10 on charges of bias intimidation and harassment, after police responded to a report of harassment on Front Street at 3:31 p.m.
Torres says the 24-year-old woman told police she was walking to a nearby laundromat while wearing a hijab, when the two men encountered her and began yelling.
The women told police that the men shouted "you're a Muslim" at her and also told her to "go back to your country" and "eat pork", according to Torres.
After the woman signed complaints against the two men, police say they found probable cause and arrested the two men.
Guillaume and Rosso were processed and served, and bail was set at $2500 with a 10% option. Both men posted bail and a court date is pending.
