A woman who hurled racist abuse at passengers on a tram while holding a toddler in her arms is being sought by the police after a video of the incident, called My Tram Experience, went viral on YouTube.
The recording shows a dark-haired woman swearing and shouting at black and Asian passengers on a tram late at night.
The Advertiser understands the tram was the number 3 service between New Addington and Wimbledon.
More than 10,000 people have viewed the clip, called ‘My Tram Experience’, less than 24 hours after it was posted on YouTube yesterday (Sunday).
By mid-afternoon the hashtag #MyTramExperience was trending on Twitter.
British Transport Police (BTP) have launched an investigation and called for the passenger who recorded the incident to come forward.
The video begins as the woman, clutching a blonde-haired little boy, bemoans the impact of immigration on ‘her Britain’.
