A MAN sexually assaulted and racially abused two women.
Robert Palmer struck at a flat in Germiston and pounced on one victim in a broom cupboard.
He also brandished a knife at the women - both 23 - waving it in their faces.
Palmer, also 23, faces a jail-term after he pleaded guilty to two sexual assaults and acting in a racially aggravated manner at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Palmer had been drinking before the crimes last September 5. He initially asked if one of the women was single then tried to kiss her. She pushed him off before he turned his attention to the other victim.
This woman had gone to get a mop after Palmer spilled drinks. He groped her from behind and also attempted to kiss her.
Other people came to the victims' aid as Palmer fled. But, he was first heard making the racist jibe "p**i".
Prosecutor Graham Macdonald said: “He shouted 'black b******s, f***ing Osama Bin Ladens and go back to where you came from'.
“He made animal noises and claimed that the flat close was his.”
Sheriff Paul Crozier remanded Palmer in custody as sentencing was deferred for reports.
