A video has captured the moment a businessman was racially abused during a Sky News interview in Nuneaton. Zahin, 32, was speaking about community divisions over asylum seekers when two women, one holding a beer glass, launched a tirade of racist slurs in front of children.
The women shouted accusations including 'you're raping our kids' and used the term 'dirty monkeys'. Zahin, who moved to the UK from Malawi at age six, responded calmly: 'What you teaching them kids?' The interviewer asked if he was alright, to which he replied: 'I'm used to this conflict.'
Zahin said he believes he was targeted because they thought he was Muslim, calling the accusations 'unfair and unjust'. He stressed the need for dialogue: 'We are in 2025 now. The solution comes through dialogue, not ranting off.'
After the confrontation, a local woman named Natalie apologised, saying Nuneaton is 'a really warm town' but that 'something in the air has given a racist element permission to be horrible'. The interview followed protests in Nuneaton over the alleged abduction and rape of a 12-year-old girl by Afghan asylum seekers.
