Emma West pleaded not guilty to both charges
Alleged tram racist Emma West has denied abusing a fellow passenger.
The 34-year-old, from New Addington, appeared at Croydon Crown Court today charged with a racially aggravated public order offence and with intent to cause fear or provocation of violence.
In a packed courtroom, the mother spoke only to enter a not guilty plea to both charges.
A large contingent of far-right supporters were in court, with several having to be turned away due to a lack of space.
Her trial is due to take place at Croydon Crown Court on June 11.
