Louis Bunn claims he was kicked out of his local bingo hall because he has Tourette's Syndrome.
The 23-year-old says staff at the Leo Leisure Bingo hall thought he purposely shouted and used swear words to cause disruption.
According to reports, Louis was asked to leave the Eastbourne bingo hall last Sunday in the middle of a game.
"A member of staff was very profane to me and this made my tics worse. When I confronted this person because my vocal tics got worse I told him I couldn't help it as I was the one being warned and I was the person being discriminated against" said Louis.
"As the night went on the staff working the bingo made a few remarks on the mic regarding my Tourette's and I felt like I was being singled out."
Peter Brown, the owner of the bingo hall, has denied that Tourette's Syndrome is the reason Louis was asked to leave the premises, according to The Mirror.
"I am aware of his condition and have never had a problem with it in any way. But we’d had a complaint the week before that he had jumped out of his seat and got very aggressive towards an old lady.
"He was aggressive to me, my female members of staff and I was sworn and spat at. I’ve never been spoken to like that" said Peter.
