This is the teenage thug who racially abused, kicked and bit police officers in a violent rampage at a Liverpool supermarket.

Sayed Houssani, 19, also grappled with another customer at the Bold Street Tesco Extra which led to the pair colliding with a alcohol display, smashing bottles worth £339.

Houssani, of Hardman Street in Liverpool city centre, was jailed for nine months at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

The court heard he racially abused an officer, kicking him four times in the back during the chaotic struggle on Sunday night.

Houssani, pleaded guilty to two charges of assaulting a PC, one of racially aggravated harassment and one of threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour.

He also admitted breaching a suspended sentence of 80 days in prison, handed down for an assault on his former partner.

Andrew Page, prosecuting, told the court Houssani had been waiting in the queue at the Tesco “for a matter of seconds” before becoming agitated and abusive.

Mr Page said: “A staff member rang three bells calling for security to attend and an assistant manager came to the till area. The defendant was heard to say hurry up and serve me you f****** c***.

“Staff asked him to stop being abusive, to which Mr Houssani replied I’m not being abusive you c***.”

The court heard a man waiting in the queue, who remains unknown, challenged the defendant and told him: “You are being abusive, mate.”

Mr Page said: “The defendant turned his attention to the male who was taken by surprise, and they fought. Both fell into a beer display causing it to smash and spill over the store. But the male was of a large build and overpowered Mr Houssani.”

However the man released Houssani, who threw a bottle towards the till area narrowly missing staff and customers.

Security guards at the store then restrained him until police arrived.

PC Vinay Ramnath, who was racially abused and kicked by the defendant, was forced to put him on the floor and call for back up as he continued to struggle and shout threats.

When he was eventually taken into custody he bit PC Kevin Jameson on the thumb before several officers forcibly removed his clothes and locked him in a cell.

He later answered no comment to all questions in an interview.

Christopher Mantle, representing Houssani, said his client had moved to the UK from Iran in 2012 after a “horrendous upbringing”.

Mr Mantle said his client escaped his native country and was granted a five year stay in the UK after being stabbed by his father.

Mr Mantle said: “He is the first to accept he has anger management issues.

“He has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder which is said to be a result of his traumatic life.”
