Tourists subjected to racist rant on Sydney bus
Footage has emerged of a man hurling racist abuse at Asian tourists on a Sydney bus.
The incident comes just months after ABC newsreader Jeremy Fernandez was taunted in a similar situation.
The latest abuse was filmed on a 470 bus at Town Hall en route from Circular Quay to Lilyfield on Saturday.
It shows a Caucasian man screaming and swearing at tourists, who are believed to be Korean.
The man asks them why they came to Australia and yells about the Japanese bombing of Australia in World War II.
One of the passengers, a 30-year-old office worker of Chinese descent, decided to start filming the incident.
The woman, who wanted only to be known as Heidi, said she did not know what else to do.
She tried to intervene while it was happening, along with another male passenger, but says fellow passengers offered no help or support.
Transport authorities in Sydney are investigating and co-operating with police.
They say they will provide police with CCTV footage of the incident.
