The abuser stood on the same spot, directing her rage at the people who had intervened earlier and the passengers who kept looking at her as she continued her rant.

The British Transport Police is urging anyone with information regarding the identity of the woman to please come forward so justice can be done.
In early June, a woman from New York City was also caught on camera being racist and aggressive towards an Asian woman because her daughter had to give up her seat.
The mother wasn't just verbally abusive; she also physically assaulted the Asian lady and eventually pushed her off the seat while telling her daughter to do the same in front of shocked onlookers.
