The woman accused of spitting on and punching a Muslim woman at a London, Ont., grocery store earlier this summer will not stand trial, pending a referral to the Ontario Review Board.

The accused, unknown to the shopper at the Superking Supermarket on Wonderland Rd. S., allegedly spat on the victim, punched her several times and then pulled at the victim's hijab and hair June 20, London police say.

The 38-year-old woman had been charged with assault.

In July, the accused's lawyer told the court that her client was in hospital undergoing mental health treatment.
