Shafaqna English- A British man who racially abused and spat at a Muslim bus driver has been sentenced to 10 months in prison.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said that Michael Mongan, 39, “unleashed a tirade of racist abuse and spat at the driver after being denied entry when his payment card was declined” on August 7 in Hayes.
In the video that went viral on social media last week, the man is seen repeatedly yelling “Muslim terrorist” and other expletives. He also insisted the driver get off the bus while hitting his protective screen. He was identified and arrested on August 9.
The incident took place at a time when the UK has been in turmoil for days, with violent far-right rioters spewing racist and anti-Islam vitriol targeting Muslims, minority groups, and immigrants.
