Moorhouse’s statement, read out in court, said: “When I tried to walk away the female pulled me back by my ponytail, causing my head to go backwards.
“They were very racist towards me – they seemed to want to make everything a conversation about immigrants – and calling me a slave.”
The court heard when another woman had intervened and told Michael Bairstow to get away from Moorhouse, he punched her to the face and said: “Sticking up for immigrants, who do you think you are?”
After the hearing, the couple were bailed with conditions not to go to Manor Heath Park or contact Moorhouse.
Speaking outside court, Moorhouse, who is a British citizen, said she had felt less safe after the incident and “keeps looking over my shoulder”.
“I feel anxious obviously, every time that I think back, I feel upset,” she said. “It’s a big thing, racism, and it needs to be dealt with.
“I’ve been here since 2009 and never had anything like this before. For 10 years, it was fine but now it’s got worse.
“I used to work in healthcare and I wanted to go back but I felt scared… this happened and I just didn’t go back.
“Caring was my passion but then this happened and it was hard to go back.”
