A man is reported to have verbally attacked train passengers with racist abuse and allegedly threatened a woman who filmed the incident
A man has been filmed yelling racist abuse at people on a train before he allegedly threatened a woman who started filming him. The unidentified male was heard shouting ‘this is England’ and calling passengers ‘f***ing foreign c***s’ on a Thameslink service travelling near Croydon, south London, on Thursday. After a passenger calls his tirade ’embarrassing’, a second man next to the male, appearing to mishear the comment, shouts: ‘It’s not about race, it’s not about race.’ Another passenger then intervenes, telling the first to man to ‘chill out’ before telling him: ‘You’re getting thrown out now.’ Mary Mandefield, a presenter on Hits Radio, said the man threatened her as soon as he saw her filming. She said he and at least one other man had been ‘starting on anyone’, including a woman in her 70s, used racist slurs and threw punches. It’s thought the men were then ejected from the train at the next stop, East Croydon.
