A drunk man hurled a racial slur at a staff member in the Westgate Street branch of Subway in Bath after his bank card was declined, city magistrates heard.

Arthur Veysey, of Dartmouth Avenue in Oldfield Park, appeared in court on Wednesday 6th August to plead guilty to the racially aggravated offence of causing harassment, alarm or distress.

Veysey apologised and said he had been intoxicated at the time of the offence on 7th March.

The 40-year-old already had 21 convictions for 46 offences, the court was told.

He was fined £120 with £85 court costs and ordered to pay a surcharge of £48.
