Yob’s vile outburst at club’s bouncers

Kicked off at staff after he was asked to leave

A sleazy clubber hurled bigoted abuse at bouncers after being turfed out of Paisley’s Viennas nightclub.

Shivram Thaper, 21, turned on stewards when he was told to leave and ranted: “F**k you – you white piece of s**t.”

He was told to get out after making “inappropri­ate comments” to women on the dance floor on Boxing Day last year.

Thaper admitted acting in a threatenin­g or abusive manner during a hearing at Paisley Sheriff Court.

Prosecutor Colin Wilson told how he targeted staff with racist slurs.

He said: “Evelyn Hart and Elizabeth Young were working as security guards.

“The accused was on the firstfloor dance floor.

“Ms Young instructed him to leave due to inappropri­ate comments by him to female patrons. “At first, he refused to leave. “He was escorted downstairs. “He was then ejected from the side exit.

“He became verbally abusive to the security guards.

“He was shouting in their faces and referring to them as ‘a*******s’ and telling them to ‘f**k off’.

“He then state: ‘F**k you – you white piece of s**t’.”

Thaper kicked off at staff around 1am on December 26 last year.

A crowd swarmed as he bawled abuse at the workers outside the New Street club.

He was lifted after police were signalled in a nearby parked car.

Defence lawyer Ki r s t y McGeehan gave no explanatio­n for her client’s behaviour.

The court heard Thaper had been put on a court order after being rapped for a previous offence.

Sheriff Tom McCartney called for a probe into Thaper’s background.

He said: “At the time of this offence, you were subject to a Community Payback Order.

“You do have a number of previous conviction­s.

“I am going to adjourn sentence to obtain a criminal justice social work report and restrictio­n of liberty assessment.”

Thaper, of Darwood Crescent, has been ordered to return for sentencing on August 13.
