A UK bikini model faces judgement after a vicious racist tirade against a railway worker who called her out for not having a ticket.
Zoe Gladden, 25, had been out drinking when she was stopped on the platform by ticket inspector Diana Herban.
"The defendant was stopped by a Greater Anglia staff member at platform six who thought she had shuffled through the barrier," Prosecutor Carly Loftus told the Westminster Magistrates' Court.
"She was agitated and angry and shouted at Ms Herban. Ms Herban smelt alcohol on her breath. She became increasingly aggressive and Ms Herban became worried."
Gladden allegedly lashed out at Ms Herban in a foul-mouthed outburst.
"You're just a f**king rude bitch. I travel every f**king day on National Rail, you can't tell me I don't have a f**king ticket," the court heard she said.
Ms Loftus told the court Ms Herban tried to get on the train - but failed. In retaliation, she returned to continue her abuse.
"She said: 'You worthless piece of shit, do you even have papers to work in this country?'" Ms Loftus said.
"She was telling her to 'f**k off' and also telling her 'you're a f**king foreigner and you should go back to your own country'."
In Ms Herban's victim impact statement, she said she felt the situation had been "very unfair".
"You feel like you are nothing. Your useless, you not a human being. It doesn't matter what gender, colour or religion you are. It doesn't make her better than me because she's English," her statement read.
"I started to cry while I was on the platform. People like to humiliate and make others feel horrible on purpose.
"It makes me feel I don't belong here in this country. It makes me doubt myself. I just wanted to have a bit of respect."
Gladden already has a court order for battery in 2011.
