American Civil Rights Activist and a Baptist Preacher Rev. Al Sharpton’s daughter got an unexpected gift early Saturday at her birthday celebration -- handcuffs for allegedly attacking a cab driver in New York City, according to reports.
Ashley Sharpton, 30, is accused of shoving and punching a NY based cabbie after snatching his keys in midtown Manhattan just before 1 a.m., it was reported.
“She told me it didn't happen the way they said it happened but I can't speak for a 30-year-old woman,” the activist preacher told the New York Daily News. His daughter couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.
One of her pals might have given her an awful birthday present by filming the encounter, according to the paper. Cops said the footage shows Ashley Sharpton punching the driver in the chest.
Ashley Sharpton was said to be one of 16 protesters arrested in January for blocking traffic outside Trump Tower to protest President Trump’s Supreme Court justice nominee Neil Gorsuch.
Prosecutors agreed in March to dismiss the arrest if she stayed out of trouble until Sept. 20, the New York Post reported at the time.
