TWO girls have been arrested after footage emerged of a woman screaming for help during an alleged racist attack on the Tube.
The girls, both 14, have been detained on suspicion of racially aggravated assault following the incident on the Elizabeth Line on Sunday.
It comes after a video showed a 20-year-old woman desperately screaming "help me" as she is repeatedly punched by two girls.
She appears to be dragged along the floor of the train carriage, being punched and kicked in the process.
Members of the public were forced to rush to her aid and attempting to thwart the women from inflicting further blows.
The incident took place near Paddington, central London, shortly after 10pm on Sunday.
