A TEENAGER shouted ‘white people are superior’ to a black security guard during a drunken, racist rampage at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Tyler Tassell, of Saxon Way in Headington, started spitting blood and shouting racist and sexual slurs at JR staff when he was taken to hospital by paramedics on January 2.

The 18-year-old appeared at Oxford Magistrates' Court on Monday morning, where prosecutor Dana Patel explained the series of events that followed.

She said: “There was some sort of incident in the toilet and paramedics asked that security guards would help in removing him.”

But when they arrived, Tassell threatened to knock them out before spitting ‘stomach churning’ phlegm in one of their faces.

He then called one of them a ‘black c***’, ‘slave’ and a racial slur.

He was also heard telling them ‘I am superior to you’ and ‘white people are your masters’.

After staff put a spit mask on him, Tassell was sent to a bed to be treated and a different security guard took over on bed watch.

Tassell carried on hurling abuse at him, too, before saying ‘you are a p**** hole’.

The security guard told him there was no need for his behaviour or language, and asked him to stop.

But instead Tassell started making sexual comments and threats to the nursing assistant who, despite working at the JR for four years, felt so uncomfortable she had to leave the room.

She told him to calm down but he shouted, ‘I am going to s**** all over you’ and then threatened to ‘f*** her’.

At the hearing on Monday a statement from one of the security guards was read out.

It said: “I can take a lot but he made me feel like it was a crime to be black.

"It is hurtful being spat at and he was spitting at me because of the colour of my skin.

“It makes me sick to my stomach.”

In total Tassell admitted the charges which included five counts of using racially aggravated threatening and abusive words, three assaults and one count of threatening behaviour.

His defence lawyer told the court that Tassell simply ‘cannot’ put forward an alternative version of events because he doesn’t remember it due to being intoxicated.

He said: “He does not remember anything and he was drunk at the time. It is completely out of character.

“He can’t change any of the prosecution’s case because he does not remember it.”

He explained that Tassell has ‘clear mental health issues’ and had been self medicating with alcohol because his mum, who usually prompts him to take his prescribed medication, was away.

The magistrates spent the afternoon giving the probation service a chance to look over his options.

He was later called back in and was made subject to a community order.

As part of that he must complete 30 days of rehabilitation activity.

He was also ordered to pay £250 in compensation to the staff at the JR, as well as £85 in court costs and a £90 victim surcharge.
