A Blackburn-based man who headbutted an Indian doctor in a racial attack has been jailed for 16 months. 
Mark Wignall, 23, admitted to racially aggravated assault causing actual bodily harm and he was jailed for 16 months by the Preston Crown Court this week. 
His victim, Dr Sarabjett Gojral, suffered a broken nose and was left traumatised following the attack. He has since moved away from Blackburn because he no longer felt safe, reports from Preston said. 
Dr Gojral was on his way home in July last year when a group, including Wignall, passed racial remarks on his wearing a turban. 
Subsequently, Wignall abused the doctor before trying to punch him but missed. He then headbutted him causing his nose to bleed.
