Shock after baby sprayed during 'racist' attack in Worcester

[OverDram]

Did you hear about this?

Happened a few weeks ago and I read the news daily. Where was this buried?

There is definite front page reporting bias as if this was another religion or race we would’ve heard about it.

Only through social media did I see this. Scary.

I don’t know, as it doesn’t disclose the race or religion of the victim or the perpetrator as far as I can see?

A Muslim man holding his baby was attacked by a white lady.

Horrendous, but it doesn't mention the race or religion of anyone involved?

It was on the BBC News page. 13/10/2025.

Did you hear about it? Was it discussed?

A 77-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault, racially aggravated public order and threats to kill. She was later further arrested on suspicion of harassment and remains in police custody, West Mercia Police said.

it was most definitely a racist attack. It has been buried and clearly no one cares because Muslims and ethnic minorities are currently fair game.

Awful for the family and community. I guess there are limitations to what can be reported if someone has been charged - we may hear more about it when it comes to trial.

2 people have actually voted YABU!

Yes this will be it exactly. There are reporting restrictions after someone is charged. It’s to ensure the trial does not collapse.

I await the protests outside retirement complexes...

Absolutely horrendous, the poor family. Violent and shocking racist attacks are happening far too often these days, it’s so awful. If there are reporting restrictions due to possible trial I hope it’s widely reported when it comes to trial - and people take a long hard look at themselves!

And when I say far too often obviously I mean any at all is too many

This wasn't widely reported either.

There’s also been a second racially aggravated rape which has been buried. It’s the effect of reform et al. Lack of accountability for these people is harming our communities.

Didn’t even see the other ones. What is going on with the reporting?
