A MAN has denied racially abusing a shop assistant at Lidl during a row over a barcode.
Rebwar Rashid Aziz, 42, allegedly told Francis Ocloo to "go back to Africa" and called him a "black *******" during the row at the store in London Road, Thornton Heath, on September 9.
Aziz, of Ullswater Hostel, Peckham, pleaded not guilty to causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (September 24).
He also denied criminal damage relating to a door.
Aziz was released on bail, on the condition that he does not go to the store, and will stand trial on February 26.
