The incident has sparked outcry from political leaders and community groups, highlighting concerns about public safety and racial hatred.

Anti-racism organizations across the UK are rallying for justice after a British Sikh woman was racially sexually assaulted in Oldbury, an attack condemned in UK Parliament as horrific. The West Midlands Police have arrested a suspect, while political and community groups urge urgent action against rising racism.

British Sikh MP Gurinder Singh Josan emphasized the urgent need to address increasing racism in public discourse, which heightens risks of violence.
