A driver who rang the police for help after crashing his car hurled abuse and vile threats at the officers who tried to arrest him.
Ujjal Hussain told the officers he was “tired of white people” and called them “f****** Nazis” before making threats to “chop off the head” of one officer and “rip apart” his family.
Banff Sheriff Court was told he made the violent threats at the site of his crash near Turriff and then en route to Fraserburgh custody suite on January 11 this year.
He’d crashed into a fence on the back road between Balmellie Road in Turriff and the unclassified road to New Deer and called police for assistance at around 10.15pm.
When when they arrived Hussain, 35, was “smelling strongly of alcohol and slurring his words”.
But he later claimed he’d only started drinking after the crash.
Threats to kill and chop off heads
Fiscal depute Ellen Barr said: “He was cautioned and arrested and he became agitated and aggressive at this point. He referred to a police officer as a ‘Nazi’ and a ‘Nazi b******’ and repeatedly swore at officers.
“Throughout the journey to Fraserburgh custody suite he continued to be abusive and referred to officers again as ‘Nazis’ and ‘white b*******’.
“He made threats he would kill one of them and that he would chop their head off. He made threats towards one officer’s family saying he would ‘rip them apart’ and that he was ‘tired of white people’.
‘My subconscious was a little disturbed’
When Hussain failed to give a breath test multiple times at the station and was asked why, he claimed: “My subconscious was a little disturbed”.
Hussain admitted charges of racially-aggravated harassment, police assault and failure to provide a specimen of breath.
Defence agent Stuart Beveridge stated Hussain, who was born in England and has a wife in Bangladesh who he financially supports, kicked off after police asked him if he was “even British”.
“He had come off the road due to black ice, he contacted the police for assistance and when they turned up they smelled alcohol on him,” the solicitor said.
‘He’s had bad experiences with police before’
“He insists he hadn’t been drinking prior to driving but when he came off the road he then consumed alcohol knowing that he wouldn’t be driving again that evening.
“He says at one point police asked him if he was even British. He was born in England and has a British passport. From previous convictions, he has had various bad experiences with the police over the years.”
Sheriff Robert McDonald fined Hussain, of Laithers Crescent, Turriff, £800 and banned him from the roads for 12 months.
