A man shouted “that terrorist was right, you should all die” at police – just weeks after an officer was killed by Westminster terror attacker Khalid Masood.

Robin Wayne had been out drinking when he racially abused constables in Rochester and at Medway Police Station, a court heard.

Specials Felstead and Rutherford were on patrol in Rochester High Street around 3.20am on Sunday, April 16 when the 32-year-old stepped in front of their car.

He swore at them and launched into a tirade of verbal and racial abuse.

A back up patrol arrived and Wayne was taken to the station where he continued to be abusive.

He shouted more racist obscenities at the officers, including the remark referring to the death of PC Keith Palmer outside parliament on March 22. Wayne also spat at PC Saunders, covering his vest with saliva.

The Rainham resident appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty to a charge of racially aggravated intentional harassment and a charge of assaulting a constable in the execution of his duty.

The bench heard Wayne had been out drinking with a friend he had not seen for a long time.

They had met at a pub at 9pm before going to the Casino Rooms nightclub.

His solicitor said Wayne did not remember the event, was remorseful and did not recognise his behaviour in himself.

She explained he acknowledges he has a problem when he binge drinks, suffering blackouts and acting in ways he would not do sober.

The court heard he had resolved not to drink again and as his best friend is white, what happened is simply inexplicable to him.

She added there may have been an incident in the bar that put him in a bad mood.

Wayne, of Beverley Close, was given 84 days in prison for racially aggravated harassment and 28 days for assaulting PC Saunders, to be served concurrently.

He was also ordered to pay £150 compensation to PC Saunders, £50 compensation each to SC Felstead and SC Rutherford, as well as £85 court costs and £115 victim surcharge.

Throughout the hearing Wayne had sat silently in the dock but when magistrates returned to read his sentence, he became angry.

Hearing he was being sent to prison, Wayne began shouting and swearing.

He removed his jacket, hit the glass panels of the dock and pushed a member of custody staff.

Security had to be called and the court cleared while he was handcuffed and taken to the cells.

Wayne, who graduated from Kingston University in 2009 with a degree in business management, had been sentenced to 12 weeks in prison in September last year for driving while disqualified.

His solicitor said he had not been working since he came out of prison and was suffering from depression.
