A father-of-four used the “n-word” in a tirade of “disgraceful” racial abuse at a worker in his local shop, before punching a display off the counter.

A shop assistant told a court David Hilliard (37) said “horrible” things to her supervisor and she had “never seen anybody to have so much hatred”.
