Ahmed Sharif, the New York City cab driver stabbed after allegedly being asked if he was Muslim, described the violent attack to local TV news reporters, saying he pleaded with his attacker not to kill him.

"He start yelling at like 39th Street and 3rd Avenue," Sharif told the local ABC affiliate. "'This is a checkpoint, this is checkpoint, motherfucker, I have to put you down.'"

"I saw the knife coming through my neck right here," Sharif told FOX, showing his wounds. "Once I see his face, is so much anger and mad at me, I don't know, and hate. He have to kill me. And I ask him, 'Please don't kill me, why you have to kill me, what I did?'"

"Then again he hit me, then I'm trying to fighting for life, protect myself, but still he cursing and yelling," Sharif added.

On Tuesday night, Sharif was allegedly stabbed by Michael Enright, a 21-year-old film student. Enright has been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime.

Sharif will meet with Mayor Michael Bloomberg at City Hall later today.


A college student who did volunteer work in Afghanistan was charged Wednesday with slashing a taxi driver's neck and face after the driver said he's Muslim.

A criminal complaint alleges Michael Enright uttered an Arabic greeting and told the driver, "Consider this a checkpoint," before the brutal bias attack occurred Tuesday night inside the yellow cab on Manhattan's East Side. Police say Enright was drunk at the time.

A judge ordered Enright, 21, held without bail on charges of attempted murder and assault as hate crimes and possession of a weapon. The handcuffed defendant, wearing a polo shirt and cargo shorts, did not enter a plea during the brief court appearance.

Besides a serious neck wound, cabbie Ahmed H. Sharif suffered cuts to his forearms, his face and one hand while trying to fend off Enright, prosecutor James Zeleta said while arguing against bail.

Defense attorney Jason Martin told the judge his client was an honors student at the School of Visual Arts who lives with his parents in suburban Brewster, N.Y.

To deny bail, given his background, "I don't think is warranted," Martin argued. The lawyer declined to comment outside court.

Enright volunteered for Intersections International, a group that promotes interfaith dialogue and has supported plans for an Islamic center and mosque two blocks from ground zero.

A group representative, the Rev. Robert Chase, called the situation "tragic."

"We've been working very hard to build bridges between folks from different religions and cultures," Chase said. "This is really shocking and sad for us."
