Mohsen Golpaie pleaded guilty to a racially aggravated public order offence at Swansea Magistrates Court
A SWANSEA man has admitted making offensive anti-Welsh comments to police officers.
Swansea Magistrates' Court heard that officers were called to an address in Ceri Road, Townhill, on Christmas Day evening where they found Mohsen Golpaie in an "agitated" state in the street.

Jonathan Coombes, prosecuting, said Golpaie then used "obscene language including references to the officers' Welsh nationality" and was arrested.
Golpaie, aged 31, of High Street, Swansea, pleaded guilty to a racially aggravated public order offence when he appeared before justices today.
Nick Lewis, for the defendant, said his client had been angry because he was the one who had called police because he was concerned about a man armed with a baseball bat in area, yet it was Golpaie who was "immediately handcuffed" when officers arrived.
The solicitor said Golpaie had consumed "a considerable amount of alcohol" while at a house party in Ceri Road and had "little or no recollection of the language ascribed to him".
Sentencing was adjourned to January 4, and Golpaie was released on unconditional bail.
