London: A woman, who racially abused two Muslim women on a bus in north west London has been arrested.
The incident took place on Tuesday 13th October, at around 10:30am. Through an interpreter, one of the victims, Umm Lina said, “She was saying all these words that I couldn't understand. And because I couldn't understand what was going, I said 'please shh' and that was when she started screaming. I was scared and anxious. I am heavily pregnant and I was standing as well, so I was really stressed and upset because I couldn't understand what she was saying.”
Lina further stated her displeasure as no one came to her aid. “No one did anything so I walked to the driver and asked him to call the police. And he said, 'You can do that yourself'. I would've expected someone to stand up for me and my family and friend as I don't speak English, especially the driver.”
The 36-year-old accused, Simone Joseph was taken into custody at a North London police station. She has been granted bail and is due to be sentenced on 13th November.
