A New York City man whose commercial truck became disabled Monday in South Huntingdon is accused of spitting on a state trooper and and calling him a racial slur, according to court papers.
Troopers said Enayet Hossain, 47, of Richmond Hill, is subject to removal from the country by immigration enforcement.
Police were called around 2 a.m. for a report of a disabled motorist in the village of Fitz Henry, according to court papers. Hossain was heavily intoxicated and acted belligerent, police said.
While in custody in a state police car for the DUI offense, troopers said Hossain repeatedly directed a racial slur at a trooper, spit on him and kicked a seat, according to court papers. While at the state police station in Rostraver, Hossain repeatedly said he wanted to leave the country, police said.
He is charged with assault of a law enforcement officer, ethnic intimidation, harassment and related offenses. Hossain is being held on $100,000 bail at the Westmoreland County Prison. He didn’t have an attorney listed in online court records. A preliminary hearing is set for March 30.
