Muslim Motorist Denies 'Women Stoning' Comment During Road Rage Row

A muslim motorist, accused of shouting: “Women in my country would be stoned for this,” during a road-rage incident has appeared in court.

Javed Ahmad, 45, of Calder Road, Morden is also said to have called the female driver “white trash” and spitting at her.

He appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates Court yesterday, where he pleaded not guilty and was bailed to return for a trial on September 6.

Ahmad is charged with the racially-aggravated assault of Harley Armiger in Bristol Road, Morden on May 17.

He also faces an alternative lesser charge of simply assaulting the woman and obstructing two police officers.

Prosecutor Miss Kerry Lingard told the court the complainant was driving her car with her children inside when Ahmad pulled alongside and claimed they were throwing stones at her vehicle.

He allegedly was heard getting on his mobile phone and saying to the person at the other end: “Us muslims need to stick together.”

“He drove after her and pushed his car into hers although there was no damage. He spat at her and she has no idea why he was so aggressive.”

Ahmad denies using the racist words, spitting at the complainant and says the police officers were “heavy handed” during their arrest of him.

He told the court: “This group of people are out to get me.”
