Man jailed for racist rant at food festival

“This attracted attention from a large number of members of the public and he started shouting towards them: ‘Go back to Jamaica you bitches.’”

As Din was placed into the back of a police van he threatened to police that he would: “F*** your mum and burn your home down with you in it.”

And then, when he was led into the custody suite at the Castlegate police station, he called a female detention officer a “fat cow’.’

Magistrates were told that Din, who appeared in court via a video link from HMP Leeds, had a history of raciallyaggravated offending.

Zara Begum, mitigating, explained that her client had been agitated due to an earlier incident with a group of people and his behaviour then spiralled out of control.

She said that Din, of Ravenshouse Road in Dewsbury Moor, had battled with solvent and alcohol abuse following the breakdown of his marriage and this led to his offending.

Miss Begum add: “He was very drunk and not thinking straight but accepts that he acted in an unacceptable manner and is remorseful.”

Din pleaded guilty to offences of racially-aggravated assault and using threatening behaviour.

Jailing him for 24 weeks, magistrates told him that his offending showed a pattern of violence and threats with a racist element.
