Shocking footage has emerged online of a man hurling racial abuse at two Muslim men on a bus. The video shows two young passengers, who appeared to be Middle Eastern, grabbing their backpacks and luggage as they made their way off a bus in Naenae in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. An old man can be heard screaming obscenities, saying 'Islam c****, that's where you fellas (sic) from - go back to your country' and accusing them of 'shooting innocent people'. But a female passenger named Pene Walker who intervened, has been hailed a hero after she was heard defending the two men on Wednesday as she yelled 'doesn't matter who killed who'. NZ Bus has apologised to the passengers who were abused but hit back at people who have claimed the bus driver didn't intervene or 'kick the abusive man off the bus'. 'If they step into a situation like that and confront the passenger it could potentially escalate the situation and that puts themselves and their passengers at risk,' NZ Bus' chief operating officer Tonia Haskell said. It is unknown as to what happened after the video stopped recording but Ms Walker claims she has reported the incident to police and NZ Bus will be investigating the incident. ***New Zealand man arrested after racist rant telling two Muslim men to ‘go back to your own country’ A man has been arrested in New Zealand for telling two young men, thought to be Muslim, to "go back to your own country."
