A drunken man launched a vile racist and homophobic attack on train staff before spitting in a police officer's face. A court heard how Mohammad Hussain was spotted by a passenger in an 'intoxicated' state, making homophobic and racist comments on January 28.
British Transport Police attended and spoke to two of Hussain's victims, who were both rail staff. They told officers he had made 'vile and threatening' racist and homophobic comments towards them before threatening them with violence.
Once arrested, Hussain continued to make racist and abusive threats before spitting in the face of the custody officer. The incident occurred on a Northern rail service, in Blackpool.
