A man claimed he attacked security staff at Liverpool Central Station because "they looked like they were Taliban".
Paul Michael Taylor, 52, pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and possession of cannabis at Sefton Magistrates' Court on October 8.
A court heard how on July 24, British Transport Police officers were called to Liverpool Central Station following reports of an assault on a member of security staff, reports North Wales Live.

When officers attempted to prevent Taylor, of Plas Albion in Connah's Quay, from leaving the station, he became aggressive, clenching his fists and resisting arrest.
It later emerged that Taylor had punched the security staff member in the chest and thrown a trainer at another staff member, hitting him in the chest.
Once arrested, Taylor was searched and a snap bag containing a small amount herbal cannabis was found.
In interview, Taylor claimed he assaulted the men because "they looked like they were Taliban" before offering apologies for his behaviour, claiming to be sickened by his actions.
After sentencing, investigating officer PC Leah Davin said: “No one should be subject to violence or abuse on the railway, particularly while carrying out their job.
"This was an unprovoked assault of two members of security staff going about their duties.
“Taylor’s explanation that he was intoxicated at the time after an all day drinking session is no excuse for his appalling behaviour.”
Taylor received an eight week sentence suspended for 12 months.
He must also wear an electronic tag for six week and pay court costs of £85 and £200 compensation.
