There is so much hate around the world now, let us stop the blame game and start helping one another.
A man is being held on charges of attempted murder after he pushed a Muslim woman into the path of an oncoming London Underground train.
CCTV footage shows the man standing behind the woman before pushing her on the path of the train as it arrives.
The victim slams into the train before rebounding onto the platform, as commuters rush to help her. The incident occurred at Piccadilly Circus station on a Bakerloo line platform.
A spokesperson for the British Transport Police reported that the woman received minor injuries during the incident.
Director of enforcement and on-street operations at Transport for London, Steve Burton said, “This type of shocking incident is extremely rare.”
“Our staff acted quickly to assist the woman and other customers at the scene, and we are working closely with the police as they carry out their investigation.”
The suspect is in custody and is due to appear at Blackfriars Crown Court on November 25. It has not yet been established whether the attack was racially motivated. (Culled from The Express Tribune)
