Video Shows Youths Racially Abusing Woman In Antrim
A video has been posted on social media showing youths racially abusing a Romanian woman in Co Antrim.
The video shows a number of young people verbally abusing the woman before threatening to assault her with rocks.
Alliance Antrim Councillor Neil Kelly said he was "horrified" over the incident.
He said: "I have been inundated with people voicing their concern in relation to it and wishing to express their best wishes to the victim.
"I hope she is OK after this incident and does not judge everybody in this town by the disgraceful actions of a few. There can never be an excuse for racism - it has absolutely no place in our society and blatant intimidation such as this video appears to show needs to be stamped out.
"I have reported this video to the PSNI, who have confirmed they are investigating, and would urge anyone else with information to also provide it to police."
