This video of a transport guard harassing a black man on the Athens metro, in Greece, has gone viral. The woman who filmed the incident on her mobile phone intervened to help her fellow passenger, who was being told he had to remove his bag from the carriage. She has given us permission to use her video, but has asked us not to publish her name. The Athens-based transport blogger, Alexander Liaros told us about the reaction, and the fact that the woman is now being hailed as a hero in Greece.
