Woman arrested as "My Tram Experience" YouTube video goes viral

A WOMAN has been arrested after a YouTube video showing passengers being racially abused on a tram went viral.

The recording, called My Tram Experience, shows a dark-haired woman holding a toddler while she shouts and swears at black and Asian passengers on a tram late at night.

More than 120,000 people have viewed the clip, called My Tram Experience since it was posted online yesterday (Sunday).

By mid-afternoon the hashtag #MyTramExperience was trending on Twitter, with Piers Morgan among prominent posters to condemn the woman's behaviour.

The Advertiser understands the incident took place three weeks ago on the number 3 service between New Addington and Wimbledon.

Widespread coverage of the incident sparked a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation and led Transport for London to condemn her actions.

This evening the BTP confirmed a 34-year-old from New Addington had been arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence.
