A MAN who went on a racist rampage in Oxford, telling Chinese people to 'go back to Isis' and a Welsh family to 'go back home,' has been convicted.

Richard Brown, 56, of no fixed abode, was found guilty by a jury of eight men and four women at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.

He had denied being involved in the incident at Bonn Square, Oxford, on March 25, but was convicted of three charges: threatening a group of girls with a syringe, assault by beating an unknown male, and threatening abuse or insulting words intending to cause harm or distress – directed at the Welsh family.

During the two-day trial prosecution barristers said that after telling confused passersby to 'go back to Isis' he slapped a Chinese boy with a newspaper and then hurled abuse at the Welsh family.

He then approached three young girls and made lewd remarks, threatening them with a syringe taken out of a nearby bin, before he was arrested by police.

Representing himself in court, Brown yesterday delivered a largely incoherent rant from the dock as his closing speech.

Brown, who denied any involvement in the incident, told jurors that the 'Government was corrupt' and referred to the 'corrupt' police as 'them boys in Cowley'.

He also made references to Theresa May, 'that Scottish woman' and Brexit.

He ended his tirade by saying simply: "I rest my case your honour."

After the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict on all three counts he then screamed and shouted and continued to hurl abuse shouting 'respect the referendum' and 'Brexit'.

He will be sentenced at the same court after psychiatric reports are prepared on October 10.
