Asbo for Racist Drinker

An article from the Oxford Mail tells of street drinker Kenneth Pollard's alcohol influenced acts including two racist attacks.

"He had committed 10 offences last year and 19 in total since 1998.

The assaults and public order offences included a drunken attack on a Sikh man in the city centre.

During the incident at Carfax Tower on May 29, his turban was ripped off with such force that some of his hair was pulled out with it.

In the trial at Oxford Magistrates' Court, he said that for a Sikh having his turban ripped off was "the most embarassing thing possible". "


Pollard has also committed six public order offences, two shoplifting offences and one of drug possession.
