A city judge sent a chronic “hack hustler” who’s been busted 44 times for illegally offering rides to travelers at Newark Airport to jail for 120 days.
Mahmoud Yasin, 62, pleaded guilty to illegally soliciting transportation and criminal trespass in connection with six separate arrests by Port Authority police before Municipal Court Judge Marvin Adames sentenced him.
“This is as a result of PAPD Newark Liberty International Airport Command’s efforts working with Essex County Prosecutor’s Office to increase the penalty for persistent hack hustlers at the airport,” Port Authority spokeswoman Lenis Rodrigues said.
