She said she was "shocked and totally dismayed" at how her picture had been circulating on social media.
"To those individuals who have interpreted and commented on what my thoughts were in that horrific and distressful moment, I would like to say not only have I been devastated by witnessing the aftermath of a shocking and numbing terror attack, I've also had to deal with the shock of finding my picture plastered all over social media by those who could not look beyond my attire, who draw conclusions based on hate and xenophobia," she said.

The woman, whose identity has been withheld for her protection, said her thoughts at that moment were one of sadness, fear and concern.
"What the image does not show is that I had talked to other witnesses to try and find out what was happening, to see if I could be of any help, even though enough people were at the scene tending to the victims," she said.
"I then decided to call my family to say that I was fine and was making my way home from work, assisting a lady along the way by helping her get to Waterloo Station.
"My thoughts go out to all the victims and their families."
