Man Arrested Over Alleged Racist Incident On London Bus

A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an alleged racist incident on a bus in north London.

An investigation was launched after video footage - which includes racist and Islamophobic abuse - was brought to the attention of the MPS.

The incident is believed to have occurred on Saturday, 17 October and is understood to have been directed at an individual by the suspect in the footage.

The bus was travelling along the A10 High Road, Tottenham, N15 at the time of the incident.

The man, aged 25, attended a north London police station on Monday evening and was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence. He remains in custody.

Anyone with information that may assist this investigation, or was on the bus when the footage was taken, is urged to call Haringey police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
