The man who confronted a random Muslim woman in Croydon demanding an explanation for the Brussels terror attacks has been charged.

He was arrested on Wednesday after posting comments on his social media accounts.

The 46-year-old, from South Croydon, will appear at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said.

Scotland Yard said he was charged after an investigation by officers at Croydon Police Community Safety Unit.

At least 34 people were killed and 270 injured in the attacks in Brussels on Tuesday morning.

Prosecutors have confirmed the Brussels bombings, which the so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for, were linked to the Paris attacks in November.
