[Arabesque]

I don't know what the insult was, and I can't imagine it to be more than just a "get the hell out of here", but I find the whole episode quite amusing.

The nationalities may be slightly relevant. If this was happening in Southall, and a Sikh was verbally abusing two Muslim girls, and a number of Muslim guys were around, chances are they'll look the other way.

I think it's amazing that this guy is risking going to a police station (reputation involved and whatnot), and perhaps paying a huge fine (if witnesses decided to testify against him), just to stand up for a woman, who is a complete stranger.
