Shocking videos showing a man hurling disgusting racist abuse at a mixed-race passenger on a bus have emerged online.
The Facebook clips show the man shouting insults at the victim, who is sat just two seats away, for nearly three minutes.
During his vile tirade, the man - wearing a red tracksuit - calls the victim a 'dirty little black c**t', adding: "Dirty n*****s on the bus... doing f**k all... getting everything."
The Manchester Evening News reports the abuser then orders his target, who remains silent throughout the video, to get off the bus by threatening to 'bounce this can in your face'.
He also accuses the passenger of paying 'no tax and no national insurance', and claims his own 77-year-old grandfather 'fought in World War II', although this would have made him five when the war ended.
The drama comes to an end when the victim has enough of the insults and gets off the bus in the Salford area of Manchester.
The videos, which appear to have been taken by fellow passengers, were uploaded onto Facebook on Friday night and within hours they had been viewed more than 500,000 times.
The first clip shows the man starting his tirade by shouting to his target: “I’ve worked every day of my life, my working life. People like you come over.. people like your f***ing family with your scrotey little f***ing kids... your little ratty little things... you look like you carry aids. That’s what you look like, being nowt from Salford... being nowt from Manchester... nothing.”
He continues in another clip: "Better get off this bus yeah by the time this bus gets to Salford precinct or I’m going to bounce this can off your head. Otherwise I’m going to drag you to Hope Hospital you dirty little black c**t and I’m going to make your family pay the f***ing bills to keep my grandad alive.”
The abuser then stands over his victim and continues the rant, saying: “Because you’re not from this country. My granddad’s 77 years old. I’ve got to go and witness my granddad dying. Now... get off the bus. Get off the bus before I bounce this can in your face. Do it! Do it! You’re not from this country mate. You pay no tax no national insurance. Get off the bus man.”
After his target leaves, the man in the tracksuit returns to his top deck seat but continues his anger down his phone, commenting to an unseen friend that his father had ‘paid 77 years of tax and my granddad fought in World War II’.
He then shouts: “Dirty n*****s on the bus... doing f**k all... getting everything.”
He picks up a small bag on the seat, telling the friend on the phone they are ‘on a mission’, and then walks down the stairs of the bus.
Downstairs, as he waits for the bus to come come into the station, a third clip captures the man shouting ‘f***ing disgrace’.
He then repeatedly stamps his foot for emphasis as he shouts ‘Daesh, bang! Islam, bang!”
Moments after getting off, the driver is seen apologising to the remaining passengers seated downstairs.
The clips have since been forwarded to Greater Manchester Police who are investigating.
Sergeant Michael Barton, from GMP’s Salford borough, said: “We have been made aware of a video of a hate incident circulating on social media.
“It is thought to have taken place on a bus travelling to Salford Precinct yesterday (Friday 3 February 2017) at about 7pm.
“We take incidents of hate crime extremely seriously and we will be investigating this.
“This type of disgusting behaviour has no place in society and will not be tolerated by GMP.
“I am strongly urging anyone who recognises the man in the video to please call us.
“Anyone with any information about this incident, or thinks they have experienced or witnessed a hate incident, should also report it to police immediately on 101.”
