Man sentenced for umbrella affray at Luton march
A man who brandished an umbrella during violence at a march held after a protest at a homecoming parade in Luton has been given a community order.
Mohammed Bassat, 21, of Holland Road, Luton, went to the help of two Asian men and began fighting with two others in the town centre on 24 May.
He admitted affray and was also ordered to carry out 60 hours of unpaid work.
Luton Crown Court heard Bassat was arrested because he brandished an umbrella at the two men in the scuffle.
Bassat was given the community order for 12 months.
Racist comments
The march in May through the town centre was held in response to a protest held by a group of Muslim demonstrators at the homecoming parade for soldiers of the Royal Anglian Regiment in March 2009.
The court was told Bassat had heard racist comments chanted by a group of about 30 men, and two of them were kicking two Asian men on the ground.
Bassat went to help and began fighting with the men.
Paul Millan, defending, said Bassat was an intelligent and not violent man who realised he should have walked away. NO HE FUCKING SHOULDN'T !
