Mohamed Ullah, 35, from Hackney, east London, has admitted threatening to decapitate Jewish schoolchildren and causing a flood at Homerton Hospital. He pleaded guilty at Wood Green Crown Court to making a threat to kill, racially aggravated harassment, and criminal damage.
Details of the Offences
On February 13, Ullah threatened to “kill Jewish schoolchildren” during an incident with Avani Hari, specifically threatening to “decapitate” them. He also damaged a water dispenser at Homerton Hospital in Hackney, causing a flood on the same day.
Ullah, who is in custody, first admitted the offences on June 5, but a judge imposed a reporting ban as he denied three assault allegations from the same day. The reporting restrictions were lifted on Friday after Ullah pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman, Janet Chukwu. Prosecutors agreed to drop the other two assault charges.
Court Proceedings
Judge Daniel Fugallo ordered the probation service to assess Ullah's dangerousness before his sentencing hearing on August 5. Defence barrister Tom Kharran told the court: “The defendant at the time of the offending was about to be discharged as a patient from a mental institution, and he has been assessed as fit to plead.”
Ullah chewed his nails throughout Friday's hearing as he listened via videolink from HMP Pentonville. He will be remanded in custody until sentencing.
