A MAN has admitted abusing a station guard and assaulting three police officers at Worcester Foregate Street.

Mohammed Israr, admitted the charges, along with another one of possessing cannabis, when he appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Kerry Lovegrove, prosecuting, told magistrates that the 24-year-old was told off by the guard for cycling on a station platform, which led to him swearing at the guard on July 14.

When his train arrived, Israr was told he could not board and he became further abusive with his bike ending up between the train and the platform.

Miss Lovegrove said police were called and, when they tried to arrest him, officers were injured.

PC Anna Morgan suffered tissue damage to her left knee, PCSO Harley Young was put in a head lock which left a red mark on his skin, while PCSO Nathan Stevensons was hit to his jaw.

Miss Lovegrove added: “He continued to be aggressive on the way to the police station.

“At the station he was searched, and the cannabis was found.”

Mark Sheward, defending, said: “He is adament he did not swear at the guard.

“He got angry because it was the last train, and he had no money.

“He accepts he lost his temper. It was a reckless act, rather than an intentional one.

“What he should have said is: ‘I’m sorry, I will cycle back to Malvern’.”

A probation report found Israr, of North Malvern Road, Malvern, had been drinking before the incident but he had now completely stopped drinking alcohol, as part of attempts to turn his life around from previous offending.

Magistrates gave Israr a 12 month community order, and an eight week curfew.

He was also ordered to pay £185 costs, and a victim surcharge of £85 - a total of £270 which is to be paid off at a rate of £5 a week.

Magistrates ordered no compensation for the officers.

Simon Freebairn, chairman of the bench, said this because they only received minor injuries.

Magistrates also ordered destruction of the cannabis found.
