A Polish woman captured a man who racially abused her on video – catching the tail end of a racist tirade, directed at her and her two children.

Number of cases goes above 4,000 for first time since May

The woman, who wants to be known as Marta, had been shopping in Aldi in Stevenage with her two children, aged three and nine, when the man walked up.

She told The Comet, ‘This man passed by us and suddenly said: ‘Start speaking English’. He then swore at me twice and told me to go back to my country, making an offensive comment about me being Polish.

‘I called for the manager and told them what was happening and my husband came over, and then he stopped shouting at us, but he carried on saying things under his breath.




‘He said, “Just go back.”

‘Maybe he’s quite scared and upset with everything happening with Brexit, making it easier for small-minded people to think such things.’

Marta reported the incident to Hertfordshire police, and they are investigating.
