A chef who has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Tom Kerridge was cleared of assaulting an Asian couple at a London cocktail bar after the victims failed to turn up at court.
Jack Crispin, 30, was said to have pulled off Jaswant Singh’s turban and made offensive comments about his race and 9/11 at the Dirty Martini in Bishopsgate on November 16, 2021.
The sous chef, from Dagenham, denied religiously aggravated common assault and assault by beating against Mr Singh’s partner Jaspal Rai when she tried to get between them.
His brother James Crispin, 35, was accused of assault by beating in relation to Mr Singh.

But the case was dismissed against the brothers at the City of London Magistrates’ Court as Mr Singh and Ms Rai did not attend to give evidence.
‘In relation to information I have had on non-attendance it’s extremely scant,’ said David Burns, prosecuting.
