A Scots shop owner has been branded racist after penning a rambling Facebook post claiming an "asylum seeker" tried to attack her within her premises.
Kairen Alexis Ruse, 72, who runs Blooms & Browns women's clothing store in Perth, took to Facebook to tell how an "unkempt foul smelling young man" had lunged at her in the store on South Street on Tuesday afternoon.
The shop owner claimed the man entered the shop and her dog Ted began growling and barking at the individual who became spooked and picked up a wicker chair to defend himself. Kairen then ran to the front door and screamed at him to get out of her shop.
