Shafiq Rahman, 48, admitted to racially aggravated common assault and other charges after verbally abusing an Orthodox Jewish man in Slough. The incident occurred on April 20 when Rahman cycled past the victim, shouting derogatory remarks and making threats. A video of the attack was presented in court, showing Rahman calling the victim a 'dirty Jew' and accusing him of killing babies in Palestine. The judge condemned the act as a hate crime, and Rahman was granted bail pending sentencing on July 10.
