A young woman has been left terrified of going on the Tube after she was subjected to two vile incidents in the space of a few months.

Olivia Emin, 25, from north London, had her bag snatched out of her hands two weeks ago and was also the victim of an 'anti-Semitic hate crime' last summer.

She said her purse was stolen by two yobs who had jumped the barriers as she was getting on a Victoria Line train at Finsbury Park on May 1.

Olivia, who was commuting to work at the time, said they grabbed her belongings just as the Tube doors were closing and ran off.

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old who is Jewish, said she was also harassed on the London Overground near Finchley Road last summer.
