Eritrean-born Ammanuel Kesete, 31, had to be held down in front of the Two Brewers pub, Clapham High Street by security staff while waiting for police to arrive.
He caused trouble in the pub and called a Wandsworth Council street warden a “Paki” during the melee.
Kesete, of Bridges Drive, Dartford, Kent pleaded guilty to racially-aggravated threatening behaviour towards local authority employee Mohamed Ali on October 16, last year.
He also pleaded guilty to racially-aggravated threatening behaviour towards a PC Grey and threatening behaviour towards a PC Hoskin.
Croydon Magistrates Court heard Kesete, who receives Universal Credit and is in dispute with his neighbours, has three previous convictions.
Police were called to the pub, where they saw an aggressive Kesete shouting in the street while being restrained by the pub's security staff.
He was handcuffed, but somehow managed to slip out of them during the struggle.
Officers said his arms were flailing as he threatened to spit at the officers.
The court heard in 2020 Kesete was the victim of a stabbing and on another occasion attempted to self harm while in police custody.
His defence representative complained Kesete has no support network, concluding “he needs help.”
The magistrates sentenced him to a twelve-month Community Order, which includes 150 hours community service work, plus sixty days of monitored alcohol abstinence.
He was also ordered to pay £100 costs, a £95 victim surcharge, plus £50 compensation to each of the three victims.
“There was a racial element to these offences,” announced the magistrate.
