Woman bashed, thrown from train in racist attack
A Muslim woman has been bashed and pushed from a moving train in a vicious racist attack.
Police say the 26-year-old victim was standing near the door on an Upfield line train when a woman approached her and started making racist remarks.
The culprit then allegedly grabbed the victim by the neck and hair and repeatedly slammed her head into the wall of the carriage.
She then pushed the victim off the train as it pulled into Batman railway station, police said.
Police are hoping to speak to two men who approached the woman to offer help after the attack last Thursday.
Police do have a description of the attacker.
She has unusual light-coloured eye brows, short dark hair and a heavy build.
She was wearing baggy jeans, a puffy hooded top and runners.
The incident was captured on CCTV and police are now in the process of reviewing the footage.
