Police probe Tube woman's racist rant

Police were today investigating video footage of a woman hurling racist abuse at Asian Tube passengers.

The film shows a middle-aged white woman directing a tirade of abuse at a group of people on a Central line train.

She begins by shouting "all f****** foreign s**theads" in a shocking seven-minute expletive-ridden rant in front of stunned onlookers.

The woman, with shoulder-length black hair and a thick Cockney accent, then asks: "Where do you come from? F****** like, f****** all over the world". Footage of the incident emerged on YouTube after a string of similar public rants by women were made public last year.

It shows the unknown woman sitting between two Pakistani men. She asked them: "I'd like to know if any of you are f****** illegal". The woman then becomes even more aggressive and tells one man: "I shall punch you in the f****** face. Pakistani f****** losers. Ninety per cent of you are f****** illegal. I wouldn't mind if you loved our country."

She adds later: "I used to live in England, now I live in the United Nations."

The woman, who could face prosecution, is finally thrown into a seat on the other side of the train before getting off, still screaming abuse.

British Transport Police urged anyone who witnessed the incident on Sunday January 23 to contact them.
