Passengers on a United Airlines shuttle bus at Los Angeles International Airport were subjected to a verbal attack on November 23. An Indian American family was criticized by a woman who claimed they were "not American." The incident, recorded and shared on social media, has since gone viral.
Pervez Taufiq, who was traveling with his family from Mexico to Los Angeles, recounted the event to NBC News. During the shuttle ride from the aircraft to the terminal, a woman accosted him and his children, telling them to "shut up" while using racial slurs. Taufiq expressed disappointment that the woman showed no remorse for her actions.
Initially, Taufiq's family did not plan to file a police report. However, after identifying the attacker’s name, they decided to press charges.
