Muslim woman hit by van in “racially motivated” incident in Seven Kings

The incident was caught on CCTV

Police are appealing for information after a van reversed and collided with a pedestrian in Seven Kings, in an incident that is alleged to be “racially motivated” by a friend of the victim.

A 28-year-old Muslim woman wearing a hijab was walking in Betchworth Road at around 9.30am on Tuesday, 29 September.

As she went to cross the road behind a van, it reversed into her before being driven away.

The incident was caught on CCTV, and a video of it has since been shared on social media.

Despite the claims that it was racially motivated, police say they “are keeping an open mind about any possible motive and taking the matter very seriously.”

The woman suffered bruising to her knee in the collision.

The Metropolitan Police said they are trying to locate the driver. 

“He is described as white and aged [in his] late 20s to early 30s with blond hair,” a statement from the force said. “He was driving a white Ford Transit van which also contained a passenger.”

No arrests have been made at this stage. 

Anyone who can help or may have dashcam footage is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 1820/29Sep.
