A racist thug who brutally attacked four people faces jail.
Barry Weston, 21, pounced on Devangi Vyas, 33, Navraj Singh, 28, Baldev Singh, 58, and Sartaj Singh, 33, in Glasgow’s Maryhill on August 4, 2025.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard how Navraj Singh and Miss Wyas were approached by Weston and another person who were with a large dog on a leash.
The pair shouted “racist” abuse at them, such as “Indian black b******s.”

Weston was told that his comments were unacceptable by Miss Vyas who also stated that they should not speak to people like that.
Fiscal Redmond Harris said: “Weston struck Miss Vyas on the body which caused her to fall to the ground.”
Navraj Singh intervened but was pushed to the ground which caused his turban to fall from his head.
Baldev Singh appeared to usher Navraj Singh and Miss Vyas to safety.
Miss Vyas recorded the other person on her mobile phone and was struck on the body.
The same person brandished an orange bottle of MD 2020 above his head as if he was going to strike Navraj Singh.
Weston then “instructed” the dog to “get them.”
Baldev Singh stood in front of Navraj Singh and Miss Vyas to prevent the attack.
The other person turned his attention to Baldev Singh and said: “Why are you all here? Black b******s.” He was then pushed to the ground.
Sartaj Singh appeared and saw the two attackers walking away.
He asked why they behaved in the way that they did and was met with the reply from the other person: “Who the f*** are you, you black b******s?”
The other person then approached him with his fists up then circled around him.

Weston was seen with a children’s scooter which he swung at Sartaj Singh and struck the left side of his face.
Navraj Singh and Miss Vyas intervened to stop the attack.
Weston and the other person went on to push Baldev Singh to the ground.
The two men then swung a traffic cone at three of their victims.
Mr Harris added: “Weston and the other person to hold of Baldev Singh’s beard and pulled on it.”
Baldev Singh’s turban fell off as he tried to escape from the attack.
Sartaj Singh was found to have suffered a wound to his left elbow and swelling to his nose. He also sustained multiple fractures to his eye socket.
Baldev Singh was found to have a graze to his elbow.
Weston pleaded guilty to attacking all four people. The attack on Baldev Singh was to his injury. The charge concerning Sartaj Singh was to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
All charges were aggravated by prejudice related to race, colour, nationality or ethnic or national origins.
Atlanta Jack, defending, told the court: “This was an extremely serious matter which he had pleaded guilty to.
“He is aware the custodial threshold has been met in this case.
“He has been deeply embarrassed by this offence and there is a history of alcohol use which he is on top of now.”
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by Sheriff Kevin McCarron who continued Weston’s bail meantime.
The sheriff told him: “You have pleaded guilty to extremely serious offences.
“Your behaviour was utterly dreadful and racist in its manner.
“Your record is such that a custodial sentence is uppermost in my mind."
