Man charged after rant at Muslim woman

A man accused of verbally abusing a Muslim woman at a Logan shopping centre may be charged under Queensland's anti-discrimination laws.

He's already facing charges of public nuisance and wilful exposure after allegedly hurling abuse at the 35-year-old woman, who was sitting in a car, and creating a disturbance at the Waterford West retail complex.

The man, 46, is due to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on October 13 and detectives are investigating whether he can be charged under the anti-discrimination act.
