RNA - According to Sky News, the 26-year-old woman left an Islamic centre in West End of London on September 9 and was walking down Boundary St when three men outside a pub approached her, police say.

One then allegedly threatened to set her head scarf on fire.

A 44-year-old Windsor man has been charged with common assault, police said on Tuesday.

He'll appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on October 27.

The arrest comes after a police crackdown on anti Muslim behaviour following heightened security and anti-terrorism measures introduced last month.
