A man has admitted to racially aggravated assault after being filmed abusing an Orthodox Jewish man and accusing him of “killing babies”.
Shafiq Rahman, 48, of Lismore Park, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated common assault, fear or provocation of violence by words and criminal damage.
Anushka A, prosecuting, said: "The victim was in the area for some work with his professional commitments, the defendant was on his bicycle, he has shouted ‘Jew, what are you f****** doing here Jew’."
She added that Rahman went on to call the victim a "dirty Jew" and accused him of "killing babies in Palestine".
Rahman appeared before Reading Magistrates’ Court this afternoon, where he was wearing a grey prison jumper.
He only spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth.
The incident occurred on Elliman Avenue, in Slough, Berkshire, on Monday, April 20.
