A woman has been charged over the death of a great-grandmother who was assaulted at a Birmingham railway station.
Dorothy Chiles, 87, suffered a broken hip after the incident on the concourse at Birmingham New Street station.
The incident occurred around 11am on 19 November 2024, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
She had surgery and was discharged from hospital, but died at home on 27 December.
Charlie Lane, 26, has been charged with manslaughter and a racially aggravated public order offence, BTP said on Wednesday.
Lane, of Marlborough Road, Gloucester, was released on conditional bail and will appear at Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court on 30 April.
In a statement released by police after her death, Ms Chiles’s family said she was “a lively, outgoing lady whose energy was contagious”.
They had said: “Dorothy was more than a mom, grandmother and great-grandmother — she was a best friend, a guiding light, and a source of endless joy.”
