A man who physically attacked and racially abused a Polish man and his friends as they waited to board a ferry to Ireland has been jailed for a year.Mark Chadwick, 30, from Holyhead, Anglesey, north Wales admitted racially aggravated threatening behaviour at his trial in Caernarfon Crown Court.
“Those who shout racist remarks of this kind are racist, notwithstanding your denial,” Judge Merfyn Hughes told Chadwick, who was also given a two-year anti-social behaviour order.
The order bans him from entering Holyhead town centre at night-time and also requires him to leave any retail outlet on Anglesey when asked to by a member of staff.
“That you of all people should abuse hardworking people when for the last four years you have done nothing in the way of any work whatsoever because you prefer to drink alcohol, is an irony not lost on this court,” the judge told Chadwick.
