A Filipino nurse in England faced racist abuse and a physical attack while out with her family.

Apple Moorhouse, who works for the National Health Service, was at Manor Heath Park in Halifax with her daughters, aged 11 and 6, and her visiting parents.

The trouble began when the couple’s dog scared her youngest daughter. Moorhouse asked them to keep the dog on a leash.

Instead, the man told her to shut up, swore at her, and said she should go back to where she came from.

The insults escalated as the couple mocked her family, threw water, and called her a slave because of her job.

At one point, the woman told Moorhouse’s father that he could not speak English. She also threatened Moorhouse, saying she could make her sick.

The man went as far as ordering his dog to attack while laughing.

The situation turned violent when the woman grabbed Moorhouse’s hair and pushed her to the ground.

Moorhouse suffered a pulled rib and bruises, leading her to seek treatment at the hospital. Videos of the attack were posted on Facebook and have gained wide attention.

Moorhouse admitted she felt guilty for pushing back but said the incident proved that racism is still alive.

She described it as an eye-opener.

Police later confirmed that both the man and the woman had been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated assault.
