A Muslim family were subjected to racist abuse and slurs as they walked through a car park in the Manchester area.
The incident occurred on June 2 at around 13:40 GMT.
Speaking to Tell MAMA, one of the women, who wishes to remain anonymous, described how a group of individuals in the car had shouted “bob heads” as they imitated the Indian headshake, called them “P*kis”, and shouted other abuse.
Both women were wearing the hijab and abaya when the incident occurred, but neither woman is Pakistani or South Asian, demonstrating how Muslims irrespective of ethnicity, are often racialised by perpetrators.
They reported the incident to Greater Manchester Police.
She described the perpetrators as being three white males and a white female, all between the ages of 18 and 25.
