A West Wight teen threatened three people at Newport bus station, including hurling racist abuse at two of them.
Two days later, he was offensive to an off-duty police support officer, an Isle of Wight court was told.
Reece Judge, 19, admitted causing fear by provoking violence, and using racially aggravated words to two men at Newport Bus Station, on the evening of November 28, 2020.
Judge, of Collards Close, Freshwater, also pleaded guilty to using threatening words and behaviour, to provoke violence, towards a third bus passenger, Michael Blanchard, and causing criminal damage to a bus, on the same date.
He also admitted using threatening words and behaviour, with intent to cause alarm and distress, towards an off-duty PCSO, in Newport, two days later.
His accomplice on both days was a youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons — handed a youth rehabilitation order for 12 months at the Isle of Wight Youth Court last week.
Judge caused the bus they travelled on, from Wootton to Newport, to be taken out of service for cleaning, after he sprayed beer all over seats on the top deck.
His actions were caught on CCTV.
When Mr Blanchard threatened to report the matter to the inspector, Judge lifted his top to reveal a kitchen knife sticking out of his trousers and threatened to 'shank' (or stab) him, said Ann Smout, prosecuting, at the Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Judge and the youth then shifted their focus on two other passengers at the bus stop.
"They stood over them in a menacing fashion. Judge said something to one of them, which sparked an altercation — during which, Judge was struck," said Mrs Smout.
The pair then insulted the men and ordered them to 'go back to their own country', believing them to be Polish.
Two days later, in Hunnyhill Stores, Newport, at around 4.30pm, off-duty PCSO, Charlotte O'Sullivan, was shopping when the pair were abusive to her.
"As she left the store, Judge used foul language and called her a pig," said Mrs Smout.
In her statement, read to the court, the PCSO said: "The incident made me feel very scared, nervous and worried as to what may happen. They were intimidating. I just wanted to get out as quickly as I could."
Judge, with a previous conviction for assault in July last year, has ADHD and had kept off alcohol since the incidents, the bench was told.
In mitigation, James Cameron said alcohol was a big factor in Judge's behaviour.
"It was during lockdown. They were bored, went out and drank too much alcohol on the bus, which led to them getting into trouble at the bus station," he said.
"The penny has dropped. He regrets the incidents and is ashamed of such behaviour."
Judge was handed a year's probation, to include 20 rehabilitation days, with a focus on addressing alcohol abuse, together with 100 hours' unpaid work.
Magistrates also banned Judge from entering the bus station and nearby Litten Park, for six months.
Judge was also ordered to pay £150 compensation to Southern Vectis, £85 costs and a £95 victim surcharge.
Presiding magistrate, Peter Redding, said: "It was an expensive and stupid night out."
