Thug Jailed For Attacking Teenagers In Street

A hammer-wielding thug has been locked up for attacking two teenagers in the same street three weeks apart.

Fortunately Mohammed Kaka Khan, 29, did not use the weapon, but the 18 year-old female and 17 year-old boy were threatened with it.

However, both victims were punched and slapped by Kaka Khan, of Newman Street, Fitzrovia and he was jailed for four months.

Westminster Magistrates Court heard both incidents occurred in Alfred Road, Paddington.

On November 15, last year at around 3.23pm, Kaka Khan assaulted the young woman by punching and slapping her.

On December 4 he punched and slapped the boy at around 1.25pm.

During both the assaults he used the hammer to threaten and intimidate the victims who were left with minor injuries.

They were not struck with the hammer.

Detective Constable Ken Mclelland said: “These were horrible incidents and I hope this result provides some comfort to the victims.

“Nobody deserves to be assaulted in this way and we will always use the full extent of our powers to bring violent offenders to justice.

“The arrest was made on December 4, following joint work with officers from British Transport Police, Westminster Police Schools Officers, Neighbourhood Officers, CID and the Territorial Support Group.”
