The clip, which lasts for 52 seconds, begins in the middle of the row.

The driver shouts back: "There are Muslims everywhere. F****** idiot."

Mongan calls for the driver to get off the bus, shouting: "Get off the bus you Muslim b*****d, get out here, you come here, you act the big man, you come here.'

Mongan was quickly identified and arrested yesterday.

He was charged with a racially aggravated public order offence and criminal damage.

Mongan, of Castle Road, Ealing, pleaded guilty to both charges at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court earlier today.

He was remanded in custody for sentencing at the same court on August 13.

Detective Inspector Jonathan Potter, of the Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: "The bus driver who was racially abuse and spat at by Michael Mongan was simply doing his job.

"He and all other staff who work across London's transport network have a right to do so in safety, free from unacceptable threats and intimidation.

"I hope the fast response from our officers sends a clear message that we will act to hold those who behave in this way to account.

"I'm glad Mongan has been swiftly brought to justice and will now face the consequences of his actions."
