"Get back to Africa," was just part of the racist tirade of a 16-year-old boy against a passenger on a tram in Manchester, North West England, amid reports of a spike in hate crimes after the historic Brexit vote.
Police have made three arrests including two other men aged 18 and 20 who partook in the verbal abuse.
A video captured the verbal attack on Tuesday morning, after the passenger had asked the three men - who appear to be drinking from beer bottles - to stop swearing because there were women and children on the tram.
"Bro, I'll waste you, I'll waste anyone," one of the teenagers was filmed saying, holding what appeared to be a bottle of beer.
"Don't chat sh*t when you're not even from England, you little f**king immigrant. Get off the f**king tram now. Get back to Africa."
The victim, speaking with a North American or Canadian accent, remained calm as he tried to ask how old the verbal abusers were.
“How old are you 18, 19? I’ve been here longer than you have,” he said. “You are extremely ignorant and not very intelligent, you know that?”
Fellow travelers had kicked the three men off eventually. One of the men threatened to "waste" him before walking off the carriage, throwing a bottle of beer over the victim, splashing other passengers including a woman with a baby.
The victim was heard saying to himself "seven years in the military." Another commuter, meanwhile, shouted to the exiting teenagers: "You are an absolute disgrace. A disgrace to England."
Afterwards, he was given a round of applause on the tram for not standing his ground.
