A Muslim passenger was reportedly forced off a train in north London on Thursday after a commuter accused him of using his iPad ‘suspiciously’.
Witnesses at the scene narrated that a man was told to leave a Piccadilly Line train because he switched off his iPad when someone looked at it, according to Evening Standard.
“There was a guy who stood up, dressed smartly with a man bag…he was asking someone who looked Arabic to get off the train amongst other things because he felt threatened by him. Apparently he had turned off his iPad as the smartly dressed man had looked at it, this was deemed to be ‘suspicious’ in his eyes,” a passenger called Jonny said.
Several other passengers tried to defend the “shocked” passenger and reportedly termed the accuser racist. However, the man got off the train soon afterwards.
