A woman who allegedly racially abused a school student on a Sydney bus has been charged by police after a fellow passenger captured footage of the encounter on a mobile phone and posted it on YouTube.
The 55-year-old woman, from Balmain, will appear in court in August after she allegedly told the schoolboy to "go back on your f---ing boat" during a profanity-laden rant on a public bus in Burwood in April this year.
The teenage student, who is of Asian descent and was still dressed in his uniform, boarded the bus at the intersection of Burwood Road and Railway Parade at 3.30pm on April 17 when a female passenger began verbally abusing him.
In a video posted on YouTube by another passenger, a woman is shown yelling at the male student to sit down on the M41 bus from Burwood to Campsie.

"It's not f---ing right. Sit the f--- down," the woman says, adding that the student should "get a passport bro".
"No-one can see where they're going. Especially when I'm drunk.
"I'm born here, I know what I'm doing.
"Go back on your f---ing boat and f--- off.
"There's a lot of Aussie passengers on this bus and I'm telling ya, they're totally not going to agree with you, I tell you right now. And I'm one of them."
During the rant, the woman also says Prime Minister Julia Gillard "should make more boats".
The driver intervenes several times and asks the student to sit down, which he does, and for the woman to be quiet.
"Yeah no worries. Yeah I'll shut up, I'll shut the f--- up," the woman responds.
A passenger uploaded the video to YouTube, and police later appealed for public help to identify the woman.
Assistant Commissioner Max Mitchell, from the Police Transport Command, said about 5pm on Tuesday officers went to a unit on George Street in Balmain and spoke to a 55-year-old woman.
She was issued a field court attendance notice for offensive language, and is due to appear in Burwood Local Court on August 6.
“This type of racial abuse, especially where young children are involved, is completely deplorable and will not be tolerated," Mr Mitchell said.
