A former legal worker screamed 'I don't hijab, I am happy with my miniskirt' at Muslim families before throwing her wine bottle at a mother who tried to help her, a court has heard.
Virginia Agraviador, 53, allegedly shouted at passers-by wearing Islamic dress to 'f*** off back to your own country' while sitting near the Princess Diana Memorial in London's Kensington Gardens.
The court heard when mother-of-two Delia Ahmed tried to calm her down, Agraviador replied: 'Get out of my f**king face, I don't Hijab, I work for the Mother Theresa, get out, get out.'

The Filipino then hurled her wine bottle in the direction of Mrs Ahmed, who was with her husband and two 11-year-old daughters at the time of the incident, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Mrs Ahmed phoned the police and minutes later Agraviador was pinned to the ground and arrested.
Agraviador, who is originally from the Philippines, lists the law firm Manuel C. Cases, Jr. & Associates Law Offices as her last place of employment.
The court heard she was homeless at the time of the incident and had been seen drinking from the wine bottle shortly before her tirade on August 4, the court heard.

Prosecutor Robin Miric told the court: 'Mrs Ahmed, her husband and two daughters had hired two Santander Bicycles to cycle along the boardwalk in the miraculously good summer weather.
'She became aware of a female who was shouting at passers by most notably those who appeared to be from the Muslim community.
'Mrs Ahmed heard the woman saying "f**k off back to your own country, Europe is a Christian country, I am happy with my miniskirt, I don 't Hijab".
'After asking her to calm down she shouted at Ms Ahmed "get out of my f**king face, I don't Hijab, I work for the Mother Theresa, get out, get out".'
He told the court that as Mrs Ahmed walked away she felt something strike the back of her calf and saw the wine bottle the defendant had been holding lying on the floor next to her.
Agraviador, of no fixed address, denies one count of religiously aggravated abuse.
The trial continues.
