A woman has been caught on camera hurling racist abuse at Muslims who were visiting a cemetery for Eid.
The video, which was posted to a local group on Facebook, shows the woman leaning out of a red Mini while screaming: “F*** off! You f***ing P****!”, in the town of Dewsbury, west Yorkshire.
The middle-aged woman launches into the rant seemingly unprovoked as she leans out of the passenger seat of the car in the 29-second clip.
She is also seen encouraging onlookers to video her. She said “Come on, film me you f***ing black c****! You British f***ing P****.”
The footage was posted on Friday to a local group and has since has been watched more than 25,000 times.
Facebook users have heavily criticised the unknown woman.
One user wrote: “Makes me embarrassed to be British…” Another said “She needs reporting to the police. This is shameful and appalling.”
As part of celebrating Eid Muslims are encouraged to visit relatives and close friends who are both living and dead.
