Louie Kincella, 20, from Mottingham, claimed he sent the banana to Mark D’arcy-Smith, 25, as a “joke” while they were in The Richmal Crompton pub, Bromley, last November. Mr D’arcy-Smith previously told the BBC that the incident left him feeling “upset, shocked and scared” and reported it to the Metropolitan Police. He added in a statement: “Hate crimes are a priority for the Met and we take all allegations very seriously.” Kincella has been barred from the pub, said a Wetherspoon’s spokesperson, who added that the manager had met with Mr D’arcy-Smith “to apologise to him and the company does so once again now”.
