  "account": "A man will appear in court on Wednesday, accused of verbally abusing a 13-year-old Muslim schoolgirl on a Sydney bus in September. Footage from the incident shows the unnamed man, believed to be 50 years old, calling the girl a series of slurs, including \"f***ing terrorist\" and \"immigrant dog\". Passengers and the girl herself reported the abuse to police after they disembarked at Strathfield Railway station. The man was arrested later that day at a home in Greenacre and charged with stalking and intimidation. He was refused bail. The abuse began when the girl defended another girl in a hijab from the man's alleged photo-taking. The victim and her mother expressed disgust at the attack, with the mother telling the ABC that such behavior is \"really disgusting\". The incident has been condemned by local politician Jason Yat-sen Li, who noted that Strathfield will not tolerate racist or Islamophobic abuse, especially against children. State Labor MP Jason Yat-sen Li called the incident \"horrifying\" and praised the girl for speaking up.",
