Footage has captured gay hate speech from a Sydney real estate agent towards a barista who now says he is “terrified” to go to work.

The incident took place at a cafe in the inner west suburb of Homebush on Wednesday afternoon.

Vision shared on social media shows the barista, who has asked not to be named, being confronted by the managing director of an Inner West Real Estate, Mahin Abedin.

Mr Abedin can be heard calling the barista a “f***ing f****t”.

The barista calls the police, telling them he has “a very abusive person in my dad’s cafe calling me a f***ot”.

The video, filmed by a staff member from the kitchen, shows Mr Abedin interject. He tells the barista to relay to police that he is “also calling you a dickhead”.

A customer at a Homebush cafe hurled gay slurs at a barista who says he is now “terrified”.

“Absolute f***ot,” Mr Abedin says. “Look at his eyes. You’re messing with the wrong person.”

The barista tells police Mr Abedin is “just screaming obscenities”.

Speaking with news.com.au, the barista said he was shocked by what unfolded and terrified of Mr Abedin coming back.

He says that when his older brother found out what happened, he walked around the corner to Mr Abedin’s office to tell him what he thought.

The barista told news.com.au the incident started when he went to wipe down tables outside the cafe where Mr Abedin had been sitting.

In a statement to news.com.au, Mr Abedin claimed he got sprayed on the hand with a cleaning agent and that the barista touched him — a claim the barista denied.

He apologised for his comments but said he had been provoked.

“I can’t comment on this matter as it part of legal proceedings,” Mr Abedin said.

“I apologise for my comments but I was distressed after being touched inappropriately and having cleaning chemicals sprayed on me by him.”

The barista said he was “in shock” and still struggling days later.

“The night of, I was in shock,” he said. “Waking the next day I’ve just been super anxious and depressed about what happened. So a bit rocky at the moment.”

He said police were called but “never showed up”.

“I was just really shaken and my brother comes in and I blurted out what happened. He was just trying to do the right thing,” he said.

“I was lost for words you know. Just to cause a scene at my family’s workplace for 15 minutes, I was lost for words.

“I kept asking him to leave. He would not leave.

“I just don’t want that to happen to me ever again.”

Mr Abedin is not allowed to visit the cafe after the barista took out an AVO against him.

The barista’s sister told news.com.au she could not believe what had unfolded in the family’s cafe.

“My brother went inside and this guy got really aggressive. He was calling him a f***ot.”

“My brother was on the phone to police and the guy was still doing it. There was five of them and the guy recording them was in the kitchen terrified. We had another staff member terrified.”

A customer who witnessed the incident and uploaded the video to social media said he was walking through the shops when he saw the incident unfold.

“To be honest it shocked me quite a bit. Usually very peaceful around here and I have never seen anything like this in the area,” the witness wrote.

No charges have been laid in respect of the incident.
