Another instance of racist abuse has reportedly been recorded on a Sydney bus.
A Caucasian man was captured on film abusing a middle-aged couple of Asian appearance, swearing at them and ranting about the Japanese bombing of Australia during World War II.
At one point the Asian man began apologising but it did not placate his abuser, who continued yelling, Fairfax Media reported.
The incident occured on the 470 bus from Circular Quay to Lilyfield in Sydney on Sunday evening.
A 30-year-old office worker of Chinese descent, Heidi, said she and another passenger told the man to get off the bus but were ignored. She then began filming the incident.
