This is the moment an undercover member of Iran's morality police tried to haul a woman off a bus for failing to wear a headscarf.
Video captured on a public bus in Iran shows a young woman with her hair loose being targeted by an older woman in a full headscarf and abaya robe.
Footage shows the older woman trying to force the other off the bus, saying that she needs to be handed over to police for violating the country's strict dress code.
