Mum's vile outburst at Tanyalee Davis caught on video

Tanyalee Davis has released a video showing a fellow train passenger calling her a ‘disabled bitch’.

The bust-up happened at Nottingham station after the woman’s children littered the area where the comic’s scooter was parked.

The Canadian comedian, who has a form of dwarfism called diastrophic dysplasia claims the ‘obnoxious’ teenagers also mocked her small hands and legs. 

Davis started filming their antisocial behaviour, prompting the backlash from the mum who called the comedian a ‘paedophile’ and a ‘bitch’.

The woman alleged Davis called her children ‘abnormal’  and added: ‘If anyone’s abnormal darling, it’s you.

She then started filming Davis on her phone and said: ‘Little paedophile bitch. Peadophile bitch, yeah. There we go.

‘You’re going on YouTube, you’re going on Facebook, you’re going on Instagram, you’re going on Snapchat.

As she left the carriage she mocked: ‘Bye bye, look at you – disabled bitch.’

Davis said East Midlands Trains staff were ‘lovely’ in dealing with the incident, and said she had contacted  British Transport Police who were examining CCTV footage.

She  also wrote on Twitter: ‘It’s unfortunate that this is quite common, though usually I get this abuse from pissed-up people at night  in city centres when I am coming back from gigs. Never had it like this before.’

Davis frequently experiences trouble on public transport. Earlier this summer she told of how she was ‘humiliated’ when being asked to move her scooter from a wheelchair space on a GWR train to make way for a pram.

Soon afterwards, she was left abandoned on an LNER service at York, when no staff came to with a ramp for her scooter to allow her off the train, forcing her to stay on for another half hour to Doncaster, then go back to her original destination.
