A 'far-right' knifeman who slashed a 19-year-old Bulgarian in a Tesco car park and said he wanted to 'kill Muslims' has admitted attempted murder.
The day after the Christchurch attack, Vincent Fuller, 50, said he 'agreed' with the terrorist and plunged a knife through Dimitar Mihaylov's car window in Stanwell, Surrey.
Armed with a knife and a baseball bat, Fuller went on a rampage through the leafy town attacking and racially assaulting residents, Kingston Crown Court heard.
Vincent Fuller, 50, has admitted attempted murder after he went on a 'racially motivated' rampage and stabbed a 19-year-old Bulgarian
Prosecutors said the attack was an act of far-right terrorism but Fuller denies this, although he accepts the stabbing was racially motivated.
The 50-year-old had watched a livestream of the Christchurch attack in which 51 people were killed in Mosque shootings on March 15.
Minutes before starting his rampage, Fuller wrote on Facebook, according to The Independent: 'I am English, no matter what the government say. Kill all the non-English and get them all out of England.'

Neighbours then reportedly heard him shouting 'kill Muslims' and 'white supremacy' as he attacked a neighbour's home with a baseball bat, called a woman of Indian heritage a 'black c***' and whacked cars in the town.
He also shouted racist abuse at an Uber driver before he went to the Tesco car park armed with a nine-inch knife, the court heard.

Fuller approached Dimitar Mihaylov's car and said 'you're going to die' before lunging through the open window and stabbing him in the hand and neck.
Mr Mihaylov managed to drive to McDonald's and received first aid before he underwent surgery for three hours.
Fuller admitted racially-aggravated harassment, alarm or distress and affray at Kingston Crown Court today.
His previous admissions of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article can now be reported.
The rampage is one of a number in the wake of the Christchurch terror attack in part inspired by the anti-Muslim mass shooting.
Last week, a gunman in Norway called the Christchurch killer a 'saint' while the El Paso killer said he 'agreed' with him.
Fuller will be sentenced on September 5 and a judge will decide if the attack was an act of far-right terrorism.
