Tram 'race rant' woman in court

12 April 2012

A woman will appear in court today after a video allegedly showing her racially abusing fellow passengers on a busy tram appeared online.

Emma West, 34, is charged with a racially aggravated public order offence and is expected at Croydon Magistrates' Court in south London this morning.

She was arrested last Monday after the footage was posted on YouTube. The clip, which was apparently filmed on the Croydon to Wimbledon Tramlink route, has been viewed more than 11 million times after appearing online on Sunday November 27.

West, of New Addington, was remanded in custody at Croydon Magistrates Court on November 29.
