- He was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent and assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) in Dalston, east London, on 17 April 2017. He squirted a noxious substance (acid/pH1) three times across a packed dance-floor in a nightclub (Mangle E8) following an altercation between a group of men. He has a previous conviction for assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) in December 2015 after he punched a man in a nightclub (Studio 338) in Greenwich, south-east London.
The judge said: "[W]hat you did at the Mangle club on the Easter weekend was a despicable act... You deliberately carried strong acid into that club to use should the need arise ... CCTV shows the wholly cowardly nature of the attack... motivation for this vicious conduct was nothing more than a mere slight" - Online Resources
