Passenger Faces Investigation for Racist Rant on Train

A viral incident aboard an Avanti West Coast train from London to Manchester involved an NHS dentist and a female passenger, who engaged in a heated argument after she told him to 'go back to Morocco or Tunisia.' The altercation, which was recorded and shared on TikTok, began over a disagreement about their feet touching under the table. The dentist, identified as Mero, defended himself by asserting he was born in the UK and called her comments 'disrespectful' and 'racist.' Fellow passengers expressed their disgust at her remarks, and the video has garnered over 2.2 million views. British Transport Police were alerted to the incident, but no arrests have been made, as the dentist opted not to pursue prosecution. The incident has sparked discussions about racism and disrespect in public spaces.
