Video: Man Arrested In London Over 'Racist' Rant On Tube Which Appeared On YouTube!

WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE: A five-minute clip shows a man allegedly shouting verbal abuse at a Japanese woman sitting opposite him.

 

A man has been arrested after video of a 'racist' rant on a London tube appeared on YouTube.

During the five-minute clip a man can be seen shouting verbal abuse and alleged racial slurs at a Japanese woman sitting opposite him.

"You're a vicious bunch of f****** *****," he says.

He goes on to claim that his uncle died in the second world war in Japan, yelling: "You tortured him. Get yourself off the train, get yourself off the train. You’re nasty people, yeah? F*** off, get out of my country. Sayonara"

He then turned to the passenger filming the incident to ask: "Where are you from?"

The filmmaker responds: "Does it matter, really?

"Are you going to start sorting everyone on the train, man, one by one? What have you got against the Japanese?"

In reply the man waves a wine bottle and says: "Do you want some of that? No, because you don’t drink. You're a f****** Somalian ****."

The incident is believed to have happened on Tuesday evening on the Bakerloo Line around Queen's Park.

British Transport Police said a 52-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence.

"An investigation was launched after we were made aware of a YouTube clip of a man using racist language on board a Bakerloo line train," police said.
