Two Women Arrested in Nuneaton Over Racial Abuse During Sky News Interview

Two women from Nuneaton, aged 30 and 43, were arrested on suspicion of public order offences after racially abusing a local businessman during a Sky News interview in Warwickshire. The interview with Zahin, a 32-year-old business owner discussing community tensions over asylum seekers, was disrupted by the women, one of whom shouted racist insults and accused him of harming children. During the incident, one person was reportedly pushed, leading to the 43-year-old's additional charge of racially aggravated common assault. Zahin, who moved to the UK from Malawi as a child, expressed his disappointment that he was targeted because of assumptions about his religion and emphasized the need for community dialogue rather than hostility. The incident highlights ongoing divisions in Nuneaton, a town that has recently experienced anti-immigration protests and tensions surrounding asylum issues. Warwickshire Police are investigating the matter, which has attracted widespread attention on social media and in the news.
