Muslim woman ‘could hardly breathe’ after being dragged on ground by hijab in London attack
‘A Muslim woman in east London had her headscarf pulled off and was dragged along the ground in a “sickening” attack in east London.
The 27-year-old woman had been visiting a friend at a hair salon when two white youths approached her from behind and tried to rip off her hijab before pushing her onto the ground and dragging her a few meters along the pavement.
