Muslim firefighter settles with NYC over Brooklyn firehouse treatment
A Muslim firefighter who said he was subjected to firehouse harassment over his faith and race, including being fed pork in violation of his religious beliefs, has settled his lawsuit against New York City.
The New York Post reported the city settled with Raheem Hassan for $224,000 but did not admit to wrongdoing.
Hassan had filed a federal lawsuit in March last year, saying he had been subjected to a hostile work environment at Engine 309/Ladder 159 in Brooklyn starting in 2015.
