London: A 20-year-old Sikh man was kicked out of an overnight queue to watch the Wimbledon tennis championships as he apparently made other people around him "uncomfortable".
The unnamed tennis-lover took to Facebook last week to voice his anger at being thrown out and claimed it was an act of racism, cases of which have reported a rise in the wake of Britain's vote to leave the European Union (EU).
He wrote on Friday: "Kicked out of the overnight camping line for centre court Wimbledon line âbecause you make some people around you uncomfortable, so we're gonna have to report you and ask you to leave immediately, sir'".
"Post-Brexit racism and the overt rise of neo-facism. Please advise how best to report this," he said. The sportsman who himself dreams of playing professional tennis was later allowed inside the ground after re-queuing and made an official complaint about his treatment.
