Idiots.

There’s been a surge in racist hatred in the UK since the result of the Brexit vote.

Gareth Cuerden, Head of Hate Crimes in Wales for the charity Victim Support, has said that they’ve had 60 reports of hate crimes and incidences in Wales since the vote, according to TIME.

Footage has now emerged of two youths yelling racial slurs at a man on a train to Manchester, England.

The youths shout at the man to “get back to Africa” while throwing beer and insults at the man.

They demand that the man gets off the train and threaten violence against him before approaching him aggressively.

He walks towards the pair, at which point they appear to scamper off the train as he says “seven years in the military”.

UPDATE:

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of affray and remain in custody.
