A racist brute who assaulted a busker in a sick outburst caught on camera has been convicted of attacking a nurse.

Fraser Elliot, 30, abused and kicked nurse Emma Campbell after he had apparently turned up at a hospital where she worked for treatment.

The thug was banned from Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after the attack, the Daily Record reported.

He was given a community payback order and placed under supervision for a year at Glasgow Sheriff Court for the sickening incident.

As part of his bail condition the thug was also banned from the hospital where the attack happened, though this was lifted after his conviction.

Elliot hit the headlines in 2014 after footage emerged of he and racist pal Francis Muir targeting African busker Helde Demello - known as Melo - on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street .

The pair were caught on camera by film makers recording footage for a BBC documentary in 2011.

Thousands of viewers watched Muir and Elliot confront Melo.

Elliot is first seen on camera seconds into the incident and was present as Muir racially abuses the musician.

He then tried to punch the busker in a drunken rage.

He slurred his words as he verbally abused Melo and told him: “That’s what you get in Scotland.”

Melo bravely stood up for himself and pushed Elliot away, telling him: “Stay away from me, man. Seriously.”

But Elliot kept coming back for more, trying to punch and kick the guitarist.

He doesn’t stop until police arrive, despite the efforts of passers-by to restrain him.

Elliot got a fixed penalty for his part in the attack.

After the footage of the attack was aired he said: “I’m disgusted with what I saw on the video but I didn’t racially abuse him. I am not a racist.”

Muir was jailed for four months for racial abuse. He also got six months for racially abusing an Asian policewoman in a separate incident.

The Record later revealed Elliot and Muir, originally from Cranhill in Glasgow, were friends who worked together as security guards at a care home in the city’s east end.

Elliot, from Glasgow’s East End appeared in court on November 28 in relation to the assault on nurse Campbell.

The charge read that he “did assault, obstruct and hinder Emma Campbell, a staff nurse, and did kick her on the body contrary to the Emergency Workers (Scotland) Act 2005.”

In May 2014 Elliot walked free from court after being accused of hurling racist abuse at Salih Ahmed in Glasgow.

The case was thrown out after witnesses failed to turn up.
