I'm fine now, but I won't pretend I wasn't shaken, she said. For a week I second-guessed every bump, every look, even crossed the road to avoid people. I shared the incident online and since the TikTok went viral, with that came an influx of more racist comments. Ms Choudry said the experience had left her heartbroken and triggered painful memories of growing up in Sunderland, where she was the only brown girl and suffered racism.

In a statement relating to the latest incident, a Metropolitan police spokesperson said: On Friday 29 August an officer reported seeing racist graffiti inside Charing Cross police station. Specifically, the graffiti was in a toilet area accessible to officers, staff and other people with access to that part of the building. An investigation was immediately opened into a hate crime and is being carried out in liaison with the directorate of professional standards.

Novato police arrested 33-year-old David Slattery Friday morning after he crashed his car into the Islamic Center of North Marin and allegedly attacked someone inside the mosque. As KTVU reports, an officer was patrolling the area when he heard a crash on the 7000 block of Redwood Boulevard around 11:30 am Friday and ran to investigate, according to a press release from the department.

Because it's an Islamic centre, because of the sensitive nature of that location, this is a place of worship, it's a place where people from the Islamic community gather, of course we're considering that this may be hate motivated," he told CBC Toronto on Friday.
