A hijab-clad British woman eating at a london fish and chips shop was allegedly attacked by a fellow diner who tried to rip off her headscarf and accused her of “killing people”, a media report has said.
The incident prompted anti-racism campaigners to stage a vigil after the assault which took place last week in the restaurant close to Hammersmith Town Hall in West london. The man told the woman, who was having dinner, she “should not be here” and had her hijab grabbed at, The Sun quoted an anti-racism organisation Stand Up to Racism as saying. The victim, visiting from Manchester, was reportedly eating with friends when she was attacked by a fellow diner who also accused her of “killing people”, the report said.
