Another friend at the scene of the attack described how the thug turned on her after she called him racist for his behaviour.
"He almost pinned me up against the wall so
I couldn’t move then spat in my face. I tried to get help but the
cleaner nearby ignored me. Everyone else on the platform ignored us and
didn’t try to help. I was trembling but I managed to take a picture, we
didn’t want to show them our fear but obviously afterwards we were
shaking. It’s quite a lot for an 18-year-old to go through something
like this, we were just trying to get home. All our families were
worried about us as we missed the last train back because of it," she
said.
British Transport Police say they have launched an investigation and
are describing the incident as a suspected hate crime. A spokesman said:
"Behaviour like this is totally
unacceptable and will not be tolerated. This incident has been reported
to is and we're investigating. Anyone with information about the
incident is asked to call police."
