A thug caused the evacuation of a National Express bus by racially abusing the driver and then attacking a passenger. Marcus Whitcombe caused havoc aboard the number 14 in Birmingham.

The 34-year-old insulted driver Amapreet Singh and threatened to 'hang him by his Turban' before spitting at him six times. He then turned on passenger David Geary who tried to intervene, calling him a 'white b******' and punching him in the mouth.

Mia McNevin, prosecuting, said: "The bus was very full. Mr Singh had stopped the bus. The defendant boarded and began being abusive. He racially abused him, then said he would hang him by his turban. He also called him an Indian b******.

"The defendant repeated the abuse then spat at him multiple times through the screen. Some of it landed on his face making contact on his chin and nose."

She added: "David Geary was a passenger and noticed the defendant spit at him six times. Mr Geary tried to intervene. He felt threatened by the defendant and pushed him away by his shoulder. The defendant said 'white b******'. The bus panic alarm was activated and the bus was evacuated.

"Mr Geary exited then took a photograph of the defendant on his phone which appeared to anger the defendant further. He then got back on the bus and punched Mr Geary to his chin."

Ms McNevin told the court that Whitcombe got off the bus only to return holding something 'silver' in one hand as well as a brick in the other, which he threw at the floor. He also spat at the door of the bus as Mr Singh drove away.

Police found Whitcombe waiting for another bus near a retail park and he had to be forced to the ground to be detained. He resisted arrest and spat at the two officers.

In a statement Mr Singh described the incident as a 'racist and hate attack', adding: "We are trained to remain calm and polite in all situations to deal with unhappy or angry passengers with compassion but this was something else."

True madness seeing this. Reminds me of Sant Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindrawale speeches that all Sikhs should be Shastar Dhari and take badla revenge

Tragic. Not Sikh specific though per se.
