Jacqueline Woodhouse, 42, directed an expletive-ridden rant to passengers on the Central Line between St Paul's and Mile End stations on January 23.

Police launched an investigation after a seven minute long video of the verbal assault was uploaded to YouTube.

It has since been viewed more than 200,000 times.

Today at Westminster Magistrates' Court, Woodhouse of Romford, Essex, admitted causing harassment alarm and distress to the man who filmed her - Galbant Juttla.

The video clip begins with Woodhouse shouting in a thick Essex accent: "All ------- foreign ------- ---- heads."

She turns to her passengers and asks: "Where do you come from? Where do you come from? Where do you come from?

"All over the world, ------- jokers. ------- country's a ------- joke.

"I would like to know if any of you are illegal? I am sure like 30% of you are. ------- jokers taking the ------- ----."

She then turns on the Pakistani man sitting next to her, who is singing his national anthem.

"You can ------- sing my ------- dear friend. I hope they ------- catch up with you and shove you off. I will punch you in the face you are a ------- joke.

"Pakistani ------- losers.

"Ninety per cent of you are ------- illegal. I wouldn't mind if you loved our country."

She then turns on Mr Juttla who assures her he would rather be listening to his music than to her ramblings.

"Oh look he's filming, hello. Hello government," she says leaning into the camera.

"Why don't you tell me where you're from?"

He replies: "I am British."

She gets her phone out of her black handbag and looks as if she if filming him too.

"Watch what you are saying," Mr Juttla warns her.

She replies: "I used to live in England and now I live in the United Nations."

As he tells her to keep her mouth shut, adding she has had too much to drink, she becomes extremely agitated and starts screaming.

"It's not your country anyway so what's your problem?" she says.

"It's been overtaken by people like you."
