Race-Hate Cyclist Nicked For Spitting In Tram Driver's Face

A race-hate cyclist spat in the face of a Chinese tram driver he called a “f***ing chinky” when ordered to remove his bike.

Jobless Dominic Hamilton-Gray, 25, was ordered to attend an anger management course as he just avoided jail for the nasty attack.

He was sentenced at Croydon Magistrates Court today to four months imprisonment, suspended for twelve months, and placed under the supervision of the probation service for a year.

Hamilton-Gray of Farquhar Road, Crystal Palace pleaded guilty to racially aggravated common assault at Elmers End tram stop on May 3.

The prosecutor told the court: “The driver saw he was pushing a bike onto the tram and told him it was prohibited under the by-laws.

“Hamilton-Gray did not react well and became aggressive and refused to get off the tram when told it would not be going anywhere.

“He said the the driver, who is of Chinese heritage: 'You f***ing chinky. You should not be here, you should go back to your own country.'

“Hamilton-Gray got off the train and as he did spat at Mr. Lee and this spit landed on his face.

“This was an offence that took place during the course of the victim's work and was particularly insulting, coupled with the words that were used.”

Hamilton-Gray's lawyer said: “He does regret remourse for his behaviour. This seems to have been a spontaneous emotional outburst.”

The court heard the defendant has an IQ of 55 and ADHD.

“He is a heavy user of cannabis and this increases when he has difficulties in his day to day life.

“He has an inability to deal wity daily circumstances and is a vulnerable adult who is easily led.”
