Healthcare boss called woman with Tourette's a 's**z' and used hand gestures to mock her
A healthcare boss mocked a young woman with Tourettes before telling her "people like you shouldn't be let out".
The woman, 24, was so badly affected by the shocking incident at Morrisons, in Bacup, that she has started to suffer seizures, a court heard.Blackburn Magistrates Court heard how the woman was visiting the supermarket with a friend when she had an involuntary arm tic and brushed past Halliday. He immediately turned on her, launching a tirade of abuse and smacking one hand against another in the playground taunt used to imply someone is disabled, reports Lancs Live.
The court heard the director of Halliday Healthcare Ltd, admitted using the word 's**z' but denied any further words or behaviour which could cause alarm or distress. He was convicted after a trial. "It is all made worse by the fact he works for a healthcare company", she said. "The whole thing has been really distressing and he has dragged it out for as long as he could. He had more than one opportunity to admit what he had done.
