A Watford FC diversity officer screamed 'Go back to your country, you bloody Indians' while throwing punches at Southall station during a violent confrontation with railway staff, a court has heard.
University graduate Ebonnie-Rose John-Jules, 23, was the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer for the Championship club's Community Sports & Education Trust.
She was travelling with her friend Naomi Caruana, 23, on May 5 last year when they got into an ugly row with Transport for London (TfL) employee Sasha Da Cunha, who was aided by her colleague Tom Kakeeto.
It was around 6.30pm and Mr Kakeeto had just finished his shift at the Elizabeth Line station, so was heading home on his bike, Prosecutor Tom Heslop told City of London Magistrates' Court.
'He was at the gate when he heard a verbal altercation between the two defendants and his colleague,' the prosecutor said.
