A drunk thug who attacked passersby with a piece of wood has been banned from going into Hounslow town centre.

Hassan Mohammed was slapped with a three-year Asbo after been convicted over the attacks at Feltham Magistrates’ Court.

During the incident, in October 2008, the “drunk and abusive” 26-year-old attacked people with a hunk of wood and swore at passersby in Bell Road, Hounslow.

He pleaded not guilty to affray but was convicted in March and given a six-month suspended sentence, a 12-month supervision order and ordered to carry out 60 hours of educational and employment training.

Mohammed has now been slapped with an antisocial behaviour order. The order says Mohammed must not:

  • Go into Hounslow High Street, Vine Place, Derby Road, Bell Road, Lampton Road up to Hounslow Central Tube station, the Treaty shopping centre or the back of the Treaty Centre in Grove Road, Lampton Park and Inwood Park.
  • Be in a group of three or more people in Hounslow.
  • Cause harassment, alarm or distress to anyone in Hounslow, or elsewhere in the UK.

Inspector Huw Evans, of Hounslow safer neighbourhood team, said: “There is a well documented history of antisocial behaviour crime and disorder in the area of Hounslow town centre.

“Hounslow police, Hounslow Council and members of HBAC (Hounslow Business against Crime) work in partnership to reduce crime levels and improve public safety. A variety of tactics are used including fast time search operations, the controlled drinking zone and the recent dispersal order.

“The use of Asbos is particularly effective in targeting those individuals who cause a persistent nuisance in the area. This individual has caused problems in the area over a significant period of time. Full and comprehensive evidence of his behavior was presented to Feltham magistrates who saw fit to grant an Asbo.

“Hassan Mohammed is now subject to a set of robust conditions which will curtail his antisocial behavior.

"Police and partners will monitor Mohammed and if he does breach the legal terms of the Asbo then he can expect swift justice."
