EASTON, Pa. — Easton City Councilwoman Taiba Sultana said late Friday that she has filed a formal police report after being subjected to "aggressive harassment, intimidation and politically motivated threats" during the city Christmas Parade.

"While leading the parade in her official capacity, Councilwoman Sultana was confronted by an individual who approached her in an angry and hostile manner," Sultana said in a news release.

The person "shouted derogatory remarks, invoked her past political opponent and told her 'You shouldn’t be here,' and 'that you have no shame,'” Sultana said in the release.

Sultana said the person continued "approaching her, escalating the situation and creating a threatening, unsafe atmosphere at a family event attended by children, seniors and city staff."
