New York’s supposed post-election wave of hate crimes got less wave-y this week, as the NYPD announced that Yasmin Seweid had made up her story of being attacked by Muslim-bashers yelling “Trump, Trump, Trump” on the subway.

She’s now charged with filing a false report and obstructing government administration. Let us hope the lesson’s learned.

No, this doesn’t falsify any other similar accounts: Police are still pursuing other cases, including attacks and threats against two Muslim women, a city transit worker and an off-duty cop.

But it exposes the perils of buying too quickly into the “wave of hate” narrative.

Seweid is just 18, and apparently was trying to avoid her parents’ wrath for breaking curfew by making up her tale of three drunken men taunting her and trying to pull off her hijab.

What made her account stand out was her claim that other straphangers on the crowded train stood by and did nothing. That just didn’t ring true about our fellow New Yorkers.

Her problem, it turns out, wasn’t Islamophobia, but living at home in a traditional Muslim family that allegedly didn’t care for her becoming “Westernized” — dating a Catholic, drinking and staying out late.
