A 69-year old woman claims she was abused by a group of football fans while travelling on a train from Bristol to Exeter, sparking a police investigation.
The incident took place on Saturday (February 26) after Bristol Rovers played Exeter City at the Memorial Stadium, reported Devon Live. The woman says she was abused by a group of Exeter fans, with British Transport Police (BTP) launching an investigation into reports of a "hate crime and anti-social behaviour".
According to the BBC, the woman said: "I was frightened and nervous for my safety. They thought I was fair game, they were jeering, they were uncivilised thugs."
