A man has admitted sexually assaulting and racially abusing two women.

Robert Palmer committed the offences at a flat in Glasgow’s Germiston area – including attacking on one victim in a broom cupboard.

He also brandished a knife at the women – both 23 – waving it in their faces.

Palmer, also 23, faces a jail-term after he pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to two sexual assaults and acting in a racially aggravated manner.

Palmer had been drinking before the crimes last September 5 and initially asked if one of the women was single before trying to kiss her.

She pushed him off before he turned his attention to the other victim.

This woman had gone to get a mop after Palmer spilled drinks. He groped her from behind and also attempted to kiss her.

Other people came to the victims’ aid as Palmer fled after making a racist comment.

Sheriff Paul Crozier remanded Palmer in custody as sentencing was deferred for reports.
