A thug who threw a Turkish migrant's zimmer frame off a bus after shouting 'go back to your own country' in a shocking Islamophobic rant has apologised after being warned he could be jailed.
Chef Kashif Samuels, 25, was travelling towards Tottenham, north London, when he began to hurl abuse at the elderly man who was sat across the aisle from him on the 149 service.
Video footage posted on social media showed Samuels, who was travelling with his two-year-old daughter at the time of the incident, accuse the Turkish man of coming to the UK for ‘free benefits’.

He then tells the pensioner to ‘go back to his own country’ before shouting: ‘I’ll put a pig’s c*** in your mouth - what’s Allah going to say about that?’
The clip ends as he tells stunned passengers to ‘vote Ukip’ before grabbing the pensioner’s zimmer frame and throwing it down the road. The incident took place on October 15.
Samuels has now admitted a racially aggravated public order offence at Highbury Corner magistrates’ court and was told he could face jail when he is sentenced on November 5.

He was arrested after millions of people viewed footage on YouTube in which Samuels makes several lewd references to his victim’s family and religion.
The outrageous rant continued for more than three minutes as shocked passengers sat in silence.
The trained chef can be heard shouting: ‘You’re talking in a different language but nobody knows what you’re saying.

‘Go back to Turkey if you talk that s***. Oh no you can’t because s*** gets blown up in Turkey.
‘That’s why you’re here mate - free benefits and a walker. Well your walker is going to go flying when this bus stops mate.’
As the bus pulls up to a stop the thug can be seen pulling a pram so he can get off before he continues to threaten the pensioner and asks: ‘What are you going to do? Nothing.’
Since he pleaded guilty yesterday, Samuels told the Evening Standard he ‘lost it’ when the pensioner refused to move his zimmer frame from the push-chair area on the bus.
He said: ‘That is not the person I want my daughter to see growing up as her father.
‘She is going to look at that video [online] one day and I can only hope she looks at it and says ‘that is not the man I know’.
‘I will only be honest with her and say I lost my temper and said disgusting things. I would never want hear that out of her mouth.
‘I don’t want to be that person and I want to make a change from today.”
He said many of his Muslim friends were horrified by what her had done and called him up to complain about his ‘monstrous and disgusting’ behaviour.
‘I can only stand up and apologise for my own actions. I want to apologise to everyone who was affected my by actions. I genuinely mean that from the bottom of my heart.’
