An actor has said he was threatened after jumping to the defence of an Asian family who were allegedly racially abused on a London-bound train.

The 21-year-old, who asked not to be named, said he was on a Southern Rail service to London Victoria from Brighton on Sunday when a couple started shouting “get out of our country” at the family.

He says the pair then turned on him and his friends when he confronted them about the abuse, branding them “lefties”, "d*******s" and "f*****s".

The actor was on the way back from a performance at the Brighton Fringe when the alleged attack took place.
