ALBAWABA - A video has circulated on social media showing Turkish women attacking and throwing a woman, who is said to hold the Syrian nationality, outside a metro in Istanbul. 

A video went viral of multiple women attacking and pushing a Syrian woman outside the metro door after a dispute between them, as said by some people.

In the clip, a woman began to push the Syrian woman outside the metro in the city of Eskişehir, central Turkey.

She then took her baby stroller as well and threw it outside in front of her children.

According to a Turkish journalist, Ibrahim Haskologlu, the Syrian woman allegedly "insulted" the Turkish passengers in offensive terms, telling them, "You have no honor" sparking anger in the metro and leading to a fight.

The video has sparked massive interaction online and reopened debate about Syrian refugees in Turkey as this is not the first time a Syrian person gets attacked or abused, multiple incidents against not only Syrians but also Arabs were recorded in Turkey.
