A Muslim student who said she was harassed on the subway by drunken, hate-spewing white men shouting “Donald Trump!” found herself behind bars Wednesday after telling cops she made the whole story up.

Yasmin Seweid, 18, joined a growing list of local and national alleged hate crime victims when she told cops that she was taunted Dec. 1 on the No. 6 train by three men who called her a terrorist and tried to snatch her hijab off her head while straphangers did nothing but watch.

But Seweid finally broke down and admitted to detectives that it was all a big lie.

“Nothing happened, and there was no victim,” a police source said.

“We dedicated a lot of resources to this — and don’t get me wrong, this is what we do — but we had guys going back and forth, looking for video and witnesses. And we couldn’t find anything.”

It was not immediately clear why Seweid lied to the police — and the media — about such a sensitive topic.

Seweid, a Baruch College student, has been charged with filing a false report and was awaiting arraignment late Wednesday.

Seweid claimed straphangers stood by and did nothing while the trio mocked her and tried to tear the religious garb from her head. Seweid even provided police a description of the suspects, one of whom cops at one point thought they spotted on video following her when she got off the subway at Grand Central Terminal.

For a while, police believed inconsistencies in her story to be nothing more than typical lapses by someone who was traumatized. The doubts increased when detectives could not find witnesses or any significant video. She left home and was reported missing on Thursday — only to turn up safe and sound on Friday. Suspicion went through the roof.

On Wednesday, after again being confronted with questions from detectives, Seweid admitted she made it all up, citing family problems. The police source said charging her with a crime was appropriate.

Cops: Man faked 'KKK' hate crime, own kidnapping after lighting car on fire

orlandosentinel.com ^ | December 12, 2016 | Stephanie Allen

Police say a Volusia County man faked a hate crime, set his ex-girlfriend's car on fire and then staged his own abduction to throw off detectives. Vincent Palmer, 27, told detectives he taped a note with racial slurs and the words "KKK" and "Trump" written on it to his ex-girlfriend's mailbox early Saturday before throwing a brick through her car window and dousing the back seat in gasoline because they were having problems over the custody of their children, according to an arrest report.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Police in Michigan on Wednesday debunked a Muslim student's allegation that was widely cited as an example of a spike in anti-Muslim incidents in the wake of Donald Trump's presidential victory.

The woman reported in mid-November that a man approached her near the University of Michigan campus and threatened to set her on fire if she didn't remove her hijab. The Ann Arbor Police Department said in a statement that "following a thorough investigation, detectives have determined the incident in question did not occur."

Because Hillary would've been soooo tough on Wall Street, if only common sense prevailed and she was rightfully elected president...

You're mistaking me for Hillary/Dem supporter.

Son, I've been all over the Dem ties to Wall Street since before Geithner was appointed...

The only reason kalm isn't a "dem supporter" is because the party is too close to the middle for his liking.

Really? All I've been hearing from conks is about how far left the party has drifted.
