A business owner was left shocked after six white men made monkey noises towards him on a packed underground train.

Mohammed Dirir, 27, filmed one of the men jumping on the seats doing an impression of an ape.

In the shocking video the man wearing a blue jacket is seen swinging from poles on a Northern Line tube train near Kennington.

Stunned onlookers witnessed the sustained abuse on March 8 - with Mr Dirir deciding to put the footage on instagram in a bid to track down the culprits.

The gang of men laughed as they targeted the man on a number of occasions, with one of them filling the camera with his face as he menacingly bound up to Mr Dirir.

Mr Dirir, from originally the Netherlands told Mail Online : "I was on the train, minding my own business.

"I saw a group of white men getting on and they saw me and started doing these monkey noises and these monkey movements.

"I tried to ignore it as much as possible but one of the guys gave me a thumbs up and then I realised he wanted me to know I was being targeted.

"I tried to get some video footage and as you saw, they were really racist.

"I could've fought them but then again, everybody would say I was just responding to hate with hate and adding more fuel to the fire."

Last week a hero policewoman was told she's not a "proper Muslim" by a selfie -taking crowd, sparking widespread disgust.

The British Transport Police (BTP) officer was helping a man who had cut his own throat when the sick abuse was hurled at her.

While carrying out her job, she was accused of not being a "proper Muslim" because she was wearing the force's uniform.

A colleague later took to Twitter to reveal the disgusting remark, which was made by a crowd taking 'selfies' of the distressing incident.

In a post, uploaded to the BTP London account last night, the colleague wrote: "Yesterday one of my officers was accused of not being a 'proper' Muslim because she wears the uniform.

"As she helped a man who cut his own throat.

"By a crowd who were taking selfies of the incident. I don't understand how that logic works, but I know I'm very proud of her."

The incident is believed to have taken place in the capital last Sunday.
