According to police in Hamilton, Canada, a woman was arrested after she was caught on video assaulting a cab driver and shouting racial slurs.
Mubarik Adams posted the story to Facebook on Tuesday and said that he began filming after he heard the woman shout, “Go back to Africa!”
“[I] saw the lady in the video in the back of the taxi yelling frantically while trying to physically harm the driver who was in the front,” Adams said. “At one point she was telling him to ‘go back to Africa’ and got out of the vehicle and said the N word repeatedly while smacking the car window, and this is basically when I began filming.”

“Racism is 100 percent intertwined with capitalism and overall inequality,” Adams told CBC.
He went on to say that the woman was like American supporters of Donald Trump. “You can’t blame that immigrant who doesn’t have the power of a person at the top,” he said.
The police have since reportedly arrested a 33-year-old woman, who is now facing assault charges.
“The Hamilton Police Hate Crime Unit has been assigned to the matter as a result of the hate bias overtones used by the accused,” the police said, according to a statement.
