A former production assistant on Amazon’s upcoming comic book crime drama “Criminal” has filed a lawsuit against the showrunner and studios involved, alleging a hostile work environment that included racial and sexual harassment.

The production assistant, Ijaaz Noohu, is seeking unspecified damages from showrunner Ed Brubaker, Amazon MGM Studios and Big Indie Pictures, citing religious discrimination, assault, battery and other claims that allegedly took place on set. In one alleged incident witnessed by a senior producer, Brubaker pointed a functional firearm at Noohu’s face and pulled the trigger. (No additional detail about the event was provided in the suit.)
