A video has emerged of a man stalking a woman wearing a hijab in a UK supermarket. The man filmed himself spraying her on the back with Vanish stain remover while saying, “Let’s see if this works.” The victim appears to be oblivious to the assault and carries on shopping.
At the end, the perpetrator says in a Northern accent: “No, no it don’t f***ing work.”
