Hardy Jalloh, 34, abused the driver on a 116 bus in Staines Road, Feltham, west London.

Jalloh swore at the bus driver and then called him a "terrorist" and "Hamas".

He was arrested on Thursday, 26 October after starting an argument with the bus driver and charged the following day.

Jalloh, of Granville Avenue, Stoke Newington in north London, was charged with a public order offence under Section 4A Public Order Act, a racially aggravated offence under Section 31 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and possession of cannabis.

He appeared at West London Magistrates' Court on Saturday, 28 October, pleaded guilty to all offences and was bailed to appear at the same court on Monday, 27 November.

This is one of more than 70 arrests in the capital for offences relating to the Israel/Hamas conflict.

Chief Inspector Stephen Warnes, who led the investigation, said: "We will not tolerate any form of hate crime, or tolerate anyone inciting violence.

"We continue to work alongside our colleagues at Transport for London (TfL) to ensure their staff and Londoner's can go about life without suffering abusive behaviour."
