http://tribune.com.pk/story/991322/man-pushes-muslim-woman-into-oncoming-underground-train-in-london/A man is being held on charges of attempted murder after he pushed a Muslim woman into the path of an oncoming London Underground train.
CCTV footage shows the man standing behind the woman before pushing her on the path of the train as it arrives.
The victim slams into the train before rebounding onto the platform, as commuters rush to help her. The incident occurred at Piccadilly Circus station on a Bakerloo line platform just before 4:10pm on Tuesday, November 10.
A spokesperson for the British Transport Police said that the woman miraculously escaped with minor injuries. She was reportedly treated by paramedics before being taken to the hospital for further treatment.

The only good things about this are that his timing was off and she wasn't badly hurt and that he was nabbed and is sitting in jug, charged with attempted murder.
I usually see a lot of Muslim women out shopping in my area on the weekend. They were absent this week, more victims of those murderous assholes in Paris.
