DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – A woman has been arrested after allegedly attacking a couple wearing clothes with the word “Palestine” at a Panera Bread restaurant in Downers Grove.

Alexandra Szustakiewicz, 64, was charged with two counts of hate crime and one count of disorderly conduct.

Police responded to the restaurant around noon Saturday after a disturbance was reported. According to authorities, Szustakiewicz became verbally abusive and physically aggressive toward the couple because of their clothing. She left the scene before officers arrived.

Waseem Zahran told Fox 32 he was slapped after Szustakiewicz tried to throw hot coffee on him and his pregnant wife.

“She started saying that ‘it’s my land’ – about Palestine – ‘not your country. This is America. You can’t wear that hoodie,” Zahran said.

The incident was filmed and lasts about a minute. The 25-year-old told Fox 32 that the verbal and physical attack was completely unprovoked.

Prosecutors said Szustakiewicz tried to knock the cell phone out of the hands of the woman who recorded the incident.

“I did everything I could not to touch her because I knew as soon as I did something the roles would be reversed. She would be the victim and the strong, brown, handsome man attacked as a poor young woman, and I didn’t want the story to be reversed and she gets away with what she did,” he said.

Customers did not intervene. Some of them didn’t even look up.

“Immediately after the incident happened, Panera Bread workers went up to her and comforted her and took her behind the counter and listened to her and what her side of the story would be, helped her to clean up,” said Zahran.

Now, the fallout continues online. Zahran said he has been facing death threats, with messages that wish ill on his family.

“I got death threats saying ‘I hope your child dies’ and ‘I hope your wife gets deported when Trump comes back,'” Zahran said. “It honestly shows how our society is at this moment.”

Zahran said Panera workers eventually came to her aid.

Panera Bread released a statement about the incident Sunday night.

“We are aware of the unfortunate incident that happened in our bakery-café and are working with our team to look into this matter. Panera seeks to create a warm and welcoming environment for all,” the statement said.

Szustakiewicz was arrested Sunday at her home in Darien and is scheduled to appear in court Monday. She was released from custody and ordered by a judge to have no contact with the victims and not to enter the Panera Bread where the incident allegedly took place.
