A video of the altercation went viral just days following the incident.
Cellphone footage shot by a Chinese woman who emigrated to Canada seven years ago, according to the St. Catherines Standard, starts with a blonde woman screaming "you f*cking ch**k" into the camera.
Her behaviour gets even more abhorrent from there, as demonstrated in the video below (WARNING: Contains racist language.)
