A stranger in the UK attacked a Muslim mother with a concrete slab "because she was wearing a hijab," according to the woman's husband.

A hooded guy can be seen approaching the woman with a big block of concrete he found nearby in CCTV video of the incident that happened in Dewsbury on Wednesday. After closing the distance, he throws the concrete at the woman’s head. She was struck despite seeing her attacker approach at the last second.

The victim was waiting outside a takeaway shop ahead of a job interview, while her husband, 40-year-old Eid Karimi, was inside the shop buying food for his wife.

Karimi later chased down the attacker along with other pedestrians and handed the man over to police.

He said that his wife was targeted because she was wearing a hijab.
