A racist postman has been caught on CCTV muttering ‘Come on you black c**t, hurry up’ while waiting for a pensioner to answer the door.
In the footage, the Royal Mail worker is heard saying: ‘Come on you black c**t, hurry up. Open your f****** [inaudible].’
He then hums a tune as the door opens before he delivers the parcel to the man in Manchester on Tuesday.
The Royal Mail said it has a ‘zero-tolerance approach’ to racism and will launch an immediate investigation.
Homeowner Sardar Singh, 70, did not hear the racist language but the house is fitted with a ‘smart doorbell’ which records video and audio footage when someone rings it.
His son, Ben Singh, was alerted to the recording as it is linked up to his phone.
Ben, 35, said: ‘It was awful. My dad is an older man. He is quite frail and has a walking stick.
‘We are British-born. I’m disgusted, appalled, outraged.
‘The postman would have been looking at my dad when he said, ”Come on you black c**t.”
