This is the 'horrendous' moment a woman unleashes a racist rant at two Asian women on a tram into Manchester city centre.

Video footage shows the unidentified woman angrily questioning the two women who were sat opposite her at around 7.30am this morning.

Swearing and gesticulating wildly, she quizzes one of the women and then takes umbrage when she says she works as a lecturer at a university.

Pointing aggressively at the pair, she launches a tirade of racist abuse, shouting: ‘I don’t want you teaching any of my kids’, then goes on to say ‘I don’t want no foreign nurse looking after me’.

She yells that she is from Salford as she continues her rant.

The clip then shows a good Samaritan who attempts to calm things down, but the woman is undeterred, saying ‘I don’t give a f***’.

But just moments later the tram stops and the driver comes down the carriage, telling the woman - clad in grey trousers and a grey coat - she has to leave the vehicle because she is upsetting the passengers.

The video was recorded by a witness who was sat next to the two Asian women.

The recording has now been shared with the police who say they are reviewing it to see if any offence has been committed.

Sharing the footage of the incident with the M.E.N. the witness said: “I just couldn’t believe what happened. The woman got on the tram at Harbour City and was immediately swearing and being abusive.

“She came down the tram and stood near us, and that’s when she started to target these two Asian ladies who were sat next to me. She was horrendous.

“The things she was saying were just awful - the women she was attacking seemed very intimidated. It was not pleasant at all – she was clearly being racist as she was talking about foreigners and all sorts.

“One guy tried to help and then the driver came down and threw her off. I hope the police do something what she did was wrong. She was talking about being from Salford and representing the city, but I am from Salford and all she has done is give it a bad name. She is a disgrace.”
