A 31-year-old convicted sex offender from West Drayton, has been sentenced to six months in prison for threatening to stab British Transport Police (BTP) officers.
Mansoor Ahmed launched a 14-minute tirade against a police call handler, making graphic threats of violence and abuse. The incident occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday, 27 May, when Ahmed called BTP to discuss a case related to his previous conviction for sexually assaulting two women on the London Underground in late 2020.
Ahmed had previously been jailed for two years and two months, and his crimes and custody photo had been made public. Angered by this, he hurled abuse at the call handler, threatening to attack BTP officers at rail stations. Detectives from BTP’s Major, Serious and Organised Crime team launched a manhunt, and Ahmed was arrested two days later.
During his arrest, Ahmed continued to hurl abuse at the officers, calling them “dossers”. In an interview, he claimed that “red mist” had come over him during the call, but admitted to being a criminal.
Ahmed was jailed at Inner London Crown Court last Friday (3 July).
