THIS is the shocking moment a yob chucked a massive concrete slab at the head of a woman wearing a hijab in the middle of the street.<\/p>\n
Horrifying footage shows the cruel attack that took place on a street in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In the clip, captured from a CCTV camera, the woman can be seen sheltering from a downpour of rain under a pink and black umbrella.<\/p>\n
And the horror – which police believe was racially motivated – saw a hooded man dressed in black charge towards her.<\/p>\n
He can be seen clutching a large paving tile – which he then viciously throws at her.<\/p>\n
At the last moment, his victim sees what is happening and dodges the blow to her face, but she is still hurt by the massive slab.<\/p>\n
She manages to run a few steps away from her attacker towards a group of horrified bystanders.<\/p>\n Two men who were chatting by an advertising billboard outside a takeaway shop then see what is happening and come to her aid.<\/p>\n A shopkeeper ran out from his store following the terrifying attack, pulling his mobile phone out of his pocket once he realises what's taken place.\u00a0<\/p>\n The attacker is the seen to walk away with his hands buried in his pockets.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The woman can then be seen holding one side of her face where the concrete slab appeared to have struck her.<\/p>\n The attack took place yesterday and is suspected to be a racist attack as woman was wearing a hijab – a modest head covering worn by Muslim women.<\/p>\n West Yorkshire Police said a 57-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of assault in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n A spokesperson said: "We can assure residents such incidents are treated extremely seriously."<\/p>\n<\/picture>CRASH TRAGEDY <\/span><\/p>\n
