A man has reportedly been charged with attempted murder after he was arrested for trying to push a woman into the path of an oncoming train at Piccadilly Station in London.
British Transport Police said the incident was “shocking” and is now appealing for information, according to The Sun newspaper.

The woman escaped with grazes to her face before being taken to a local hospital to receive treatment for her injuries.

Internet users sharing the CCTV footage of the incident claim the pensioner attacked the woman because she was wearing a hijab, a traditional veil used by Muslim women to cover the head and chest.
