Teen records alleged bus attack

A 13-year-old Muslim girl named Janna filmed a man calling her a 'terrorist' and 'immigrant dog' on an inner-western Sydney bus while she wore her school uniform and hijab.

Man arrested after video goes viral

Omar Yassine, 50, was arrested at a Greenacre home after the girl and her mother went public about the incident. He was charged with stalking and intimidation.

Accused claims he was provoked

Yassine told court he 'hurled a few insults' but wasn't the instigator. He claimed four students were threatening him after he raised his phone to take a photo.

“I didn't threaten or intimidate anyone”

Judge cites vulnerable victim, criminal record

Acting judge Gary Still denied bail, noting the victim was a 13-year-old on public transport and Yassine had a 46-page criminal record plus an active community corrections order.

“This is a vulnerable victim, a 13-year-old on public transport”

Yassine berates judge after ruling

After bail was refused, Yassine turned on the judge saying 'Good work, Your Honour, bow down to them, mate' as he was led to the cells.

“You're pre-empting my behaviour ... how did you come up with that conclusion?”

Teen defended another girl first

The abuse started after the 13-year-old stood up for another hijab-wearing girl who thought Yassine was photographing her without permission on the bus.
