Woman jailed for racist Tube rant

Listen to this article

A woman has been jailed for 21 weeks after she admitted racially abusing other passengers on the London Underground.

Jacqueline Woodhouse, 42, of Romford, east London, hurled abuse at Tube passengers on the Central line on 23 January.

A video of the rant was uploaded onto YouTube, where it has been viewed over 200,000 times.

Woodhouse also received a five-year Asbo which prevents her from travelling on the London Underground or DLR while drunk.

She admitted ‘racially aggravated intentional harassment’ earlier this month.

The video was captured by fellow passenger Galbant Singh Juttla after he saw Woodhouse racially abusing a woman who had accidentally bumped into her.

Woodhouse handed herself into police but said she couldn’t remember the comments she made.
