THIS is the sick moment a racist thug unleashed a vile rant on a group of women wearing Islamic headscarves on an East London high street.

Upsetting footage from the incident on Saturday afternoon shows the man following the women down South Street in Romford, labelling them as 'f***ing c***s'' amid Islamophobic slurs.

He can be heard calling them "Muslim c****" and telling them to "f*** off out of England".

The man, dressed in jeans and sporting a moustache, says: "Go away you f***ing idiots."

One of the women pleads with him to stop and says that he is "being racist", but the barrage of abuse continues.

It is unclear who filmed the video, but the man seems oblivious to the camera and at one stage gets right into the women's faces, pointing his finger.
