Racist umbrella attack streamed live on Facebook lands ex-Army thug in court
An ex-Army thug threatened to kill a teacher who filmed him unleashing a vile racist attack while jabbing him with umbrellas.
Browne then picked up two 'large' umbrellas, one of which had a metal end, and began to 'charge' towards the complainant, the court heard. The footage captures Browne telling the victim 'you're a p*ki b*****d', to which he replies, 'you're a racist son of a b***h'. Mr Leung then described how the complainant was 'struck to the head' with the umbrellas.
In a victim personal statement read out by Mr Leung, the victim said the 'traumatic' incident had made him feel 'unsafe' every time he leaves the house and 'shattered' his self-belief. He described how he had needed to attend hospital appointments at Stepping Hill for his head injuries inflicted by the blows, which he said left him feeling 'unlike himself' and even falling asleep at his daughter's 9th birthday party.
Sentencing, the magistrates said the victim had been subject to a 'prolonged and persistent' assault by Browne, who had used umbrellas as 'weapons' and caused 'distress'.
