A NYC crisis management consultant is suing a halal food trucker worker for $20 million after being falsely accused of pulling a gun on him and telling him to “go back to [his] country.”
Eric Laptook, 70, was accused of harassing Mahmoud Ahmed near his building on West 115th Street where Ahmed operated a food truck as early as September 2022, according to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
In October, Laptook was arrested when Ahmed told police he pointed a black firearm at him, according to a criminal complaint included in the court filing.
