   A former Obama administration official has been arrested after he was seen   
   in now-viral videos spewing racist remarks at a food cart vendor.   
      
   Stuart Seldowitz, who was acting director for the National Security   
   Council South Asia Directorate from 2009 to 2011, was seen on a video   
   posted to X on Tuesday mocking a halal vendor's citizenship status,   
   English-speaking skills and Islamic religion.   
      
   A spokesperson for the New York City Police Department told Fox News   
   Digital that Seldowitz was arrested and charged with aggravated harassment   
   2, hate crime/stalking, stalking-cause fear and stalking-at employment.   
      
   "A 24-year-old male victim stated to police that an individual approached   
   him at his work place multiple times and made anti-Islamic statements   
   multiple times on different dates causing the victim to feel afraid and   
   annoyed," the police spokesperson said.

   "Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did?" Seldowitz can be seen   
   asking the vendor, referring to the Prophet Muhammad. The vendor responded   
   that he doesn't speak English, asking Seldowitz to leave.

   The former Obama administration official appears to take a picture of the   
   vendor and threatens to send it to "friends in Immigration," as well as   
   the Mukhabarat, Egypt's intelligence agency. Seldowitz then said the   
   agency would torture his family by removing their fingernails.   
      
   Another video shows Seldowitz asking the vendor on a separate occasion if   
   he has a permit allowing him to sell food on the street and if he has a   
   visa.   
      
   When Seldowitz was asked to leave, he appeared to accuse the vendor of   
   supporting Hamas.

   "You support killing young children," Seldowitz said.   
      
   "You kill children, not me. Go," the vendor responded.   
      
   "I didn’t kill children… If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, it wasn’t   
   enough," Seldowitz responded.   
      
   Seldowitz told City & State he regrets the incident.   
      
   "I regret the whole thing happened, and I’m sorry," Seldowitz said. "But   
   you know, in the heat of the moment, I said things that probably I   
   shouldn’t have said."   
      
   "If I had to do it all over again, I would not have raised the religious   
   aspect," he said. "I don’t think I’m an Islamophobic guy. … I’ve spoken up   
   for equal treatment of Muslims on numerous occasions with numerous   
   different people."   
      
   Seldowitz was employed as a consultant at New York City-based lobbying   
   group Gotham Government Relations, but has been let go.   
      
   "Gotham Government Relations has ended all affiliation with Stuart   
   Seldowitz, an individual who hasn’t contributed to our work in years," a   
   statement on the firm’s website read. "The video of his actions is vile,   
   racist, and beneath the dignity of the standards we practice at our firm."
