Woman arrested as racist tram rant video goes viral (WARNING: GRAPHIC)
POLICE have arrested a woman after a video clip of a passenger on a London tram racially abusing her fellow passengers went viral and was viewed more than 2 million times in a day.
The two-and-a-half minute long film shows a white woman sitting with a child on her knee embarking on a foul-mouthed diatribe, claiming that Britain had been ruined by immigration and telling black people to “go back to their own country”.
According to The Guardian, the incident was filmed on the Croydon to Wimbledon tramlink, but the date of the heated confrontation between the woman and the other passengers is not known.
It was posted on YouTube on Sunday and quickly attracted thousands of viewers, many of who left comments expressing shock and anger at the white woman’s behaviour.
Social networking sites like Twitter were also inundated and the hashtag #MyTramExperience became a trending topic across the country.
