A UK court has cleared off racial harassment charges levied against a woman, who was filmed telling an unidentified Asian man to 'f*** off back to your own country'.

Claire Moloney was brought to trial at the Snaresbrook crown court in East London after three years, since her rant recorded on the District Line train went viral on YouTube, Mirror reports.

The 40-year-old mother clarified to the jury that she was not a racist, and she lost control when the victim called her a slag for drinking with her colleagues.

The jurors said her abuse wasn't racist and she was found not guilty.
