THE trial of alleged tram racist Emma West has been adjourned for further psychiatric reports.

West, 34, of Grenville Road, New Addington, is charged with two racially aggravated public order offences after a video, which apparently shows her abusing black, Asian and Polish tram passengers while holding her four-year-old son, was posted on YouTube.

The mother-of-two pleaded not guilty and had been due to face trial at Croydon Crown Court on Monday.

However, the case was adjourned for further psychiatric reports ahead of a new hearing on July 17.

The YouTube video, called My Tram Experience and filmed on a tram travelling between Croydon and Wimbledon, was watched by more than 11 million people after it was uploaded on November 27 last year.

Croydon Crown Court has previously heard that West, a former dental receptionist, had taken a double dose of her medication at the time of the incident, which is believed to have occurred on October 18 last year.
