Video: The woman shouted abuse at students Gina Thompson, 23, of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and her 21-year-old Spanish friend at Ipswich Hospital in Seville, Suffolk, on Saturday night at around 7:30pm.
The incident took place at 7:30pm in the hospital’s accident and emergency department waiting room, where Miss Thompson had gone with her friend who had sprained her ankle playing sport.
Miss Thompson, of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, is a film and media student at University Campus Suffolk and has been in the UK for two years, while her friend from Seville, Spain, arrived last September.
The woman shouted in front of about 20 shocked patients and friends or relatives: ‘What has happened to this f*****g country’, before directly abusing Miss Thompson who was sitting down.
She asked her ‘Where do you come from?’, to which Miss Thompson replied: ‘What does it matter where I'm from?’
The woman said: ‘We are paying taxes you a***holes and we are going down in this crisis’, before Miss Thompson replied: ‘Don't call me an a***hole’.
Rant: The woman shouted in front of about 20 shocked patients and friends or relatives at the hospital.
But the woman said: ‘I will, because you're coming over here and you're pleading poverty. I am not well.’
But Miss Thompson responded: ‘You won't call me an a***hole. I will not accept that. Don't call me an a***hole. Don't come to my face and insult me. You won't do that. Calling me an a***hole? Are you alright?’

The woman said back: ‘Don't accept it, you fat a***’, before a voice off camera said the police had been called.
The woman was then apprehended by a group of nurses, paramedics and security guards, saying: ‘There's a revolution going on here.’
Miss Thompson told MailOnline after the incident: ‘I was so embarrassed and I couldn’t do anything because I was stuck in the situation, so we just had to laugh about it. All the attention was on us.
‘She said I've come here to claim poverty. That's not true. I'm an international student and I pay £13,000 a year in tuition fees. My friend is a student here from Spain.’
Location: The two-minute clip was filmed on Saturday at the A&E waiting room of Ipswich Hospital in Suffolk.
‘It made me feel low of myself. I had to go back home and question why it was wrong I was here. My friend was surprised. She was scared, she was terrified.
‘She kind of felt unsafe afterwards. She is Spanish and her English is not perfect, but she could sort of understand what the woman was saying. When she got back home, she said: “Are we in trouble?”
'It made me feel low of myself. I had to go back home and question why it was wrong I was here. I've never been racially or verbally abused. My friend was surprised. She was scared, she was terrified'
Gina Thompson, 23
‘This woman was a very normal looking woman who you wouldn't think would abuse you. How many people are the same like that? I’m scared.'
A Suffolk Constabulary spokesman told MailOnline: 'We have arrested and charged somebody. She has been charged with assault on a police officer, two counts of racially aggravated assault and two charges of assault. So, five charges altogether.
‘She is due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on the 20th February. She was arrested at the A&E department on Saturday evening and she was brought in. She was charged on Sunday night.’
VIDEO EXCLUSIVE 'You're coming here and pleading poverty while we're paying taxes'. Shocking rant of woman at hospital patients...
First of all there is nothing shocking about the ranting, and it's about time the papers started sticking up for our own people who are sick to the back teeth of seeing people who don't belong here. Have you noticed it's always the women who are making a stand never the men. In all the videos taken on trains or the buses, it's the women who are standing up against all the immigration, and now it's a woman in the hospital.
People are at the end of their tether, they have had enough, everywhere you turn, it's Muslims or Blacks. In my home town it's shocking to see the amount of Muslims walking about in bin bags, they are everywhere, and it's the same all over the country. Mr Cameron just doesn't get it does he, he still wants more to come over, the man is brain dead.
Thees women who are caught on camera having a go at immigrants, are speaking up for most of us, but most of us are afraid to stand and say so, and that is why we are loosing our country. Well done to this lady for speaking her mind, she is now going to be in court because her right of free speech has been taken away, so she is not allowed to say what's on her mind, we are no longer living in a democracy, they might tell you we are, but we are not. I wish her all the best of luck when she goes to court, and i really hope she gets off with all charges, although i can't see it, but we can live in hope.
