A RACIST yob who verbally attacked an MSP in the street was exposed by his own community yesterday.

Several people named the man who appeared in shocking footage on the Record’s website as Chris Chisholm, 30, from Dunbartonshire.

The bully told SNP minister Humza Yousaf he wouldn’t buy a Big Issue from him because he’s “not from my country”.

Yousaf was helping with a homelessness campaign at Glasgow’s Queen Street station at the time.

Chisholm runs his own installation company and lives in a detached house in Gartcosh with his wife Christina, 29, and their young child.

When we asked to talk to him yesterday, Christina said, “No, we don’t want to speak to anybody” and shut the door. Chisholm did not respond to requests to discuss the clip, which is being probed by police.

He was far more vocal during International Street Paper Vendor Week, when he ranted about immigrant and abused Glasgow-born Yousaf.

In the clip, filmed by student journalists for theweeg.com website, he is heard saying “benefit locust” before telling the MSP: “You’re not from my country.”

The Minister for External Affairs stands his ground – but he later admitted he was left angered by the attack.

Yousaf said: “I was born in Scotland and don’t think of myself as anything other than Scottish.

“I was angry because the reason he judged me was the colour of my skin.”

Those who called in to identify Chisholm claimed he was well known for his offensive views.

One said: “He isn’t a nice person. As soon as I saw the footage, I recognised him straight away.”

Last night, Yousaf said: “I am humbled by all the messages of support. They reminded me that there are a lot more good people in the world than bad.”

Police said they had received a complaint about the clip and investigations were ongoing.
