A man falsely reported a housebreaking then leapt out and assaulted a female police officer as she responded to the call.

Mohammed Islam, 20, called the police using the name ‘Jakob Hamilton’ and reported a housebreaking in progress in the Kincorth area of Aberdeen.

However, as police responded, Islam appeared before a female officer and, without warning, began to pummel her repeatedly with both fists.

Aberdeen Sheriff Court also heard that on a separate occasion, police attended at Islam’s home where he told them he would “cut their heads off and spit down the hole”.

He apologised to the court and said that he had been struggling with his mental health at the time of the incident.

Fiscal depute Lydia Ross told the court that at around 9.55pm police attended at Kincorth Place following a report of a suspected housebreaking.

“On arrival, police approached the property at which point the accused exited the building and ran towards them,” she said.

“Without any verbal communication spoken, the accused ran towards a female constable and struck her with both fists to the body several times.

“The constable attempted to get the accused under control and to prevent further assaults – but he continued to strike out at the officer.”

Islam was finally handcuffed by the police, who had called for backup due to the level of erratic behaviour he was displaying.

Ms Ross also told the court of a separate incident, on July 19 last year, when police attended at Islam’s home due to a “disturbance”.

Finding Islam in his bedroom, he told police he would assault any officer who entered.

He then shouted “I will f*** you up” and “I will cut your head off and spit down the hole”.

Islam pleaded guilty to four charges including wasting police time, two counts of assault and an additional charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

Charges ‘serious enough’ to warrant prison sentence

Representing himself, Islam told the court that his mental health “wasn’t the greatest” at the time of the assault.

“I have reflected on my behaviour and I do regret it,” he said.

“I acted out of the norm for me and I’m sorry about that.”

He added that he had also apologised to the police officers for his verbally abusive behaviour while in the back of a police car on July 19 this year.

Sheriff Lesley Johnston told Islam he was facing “charges serious enough to warrant a custodial sentence”.

She said: “Your actions were premeditated by the reporting to police of an emergency and then you assaulted them.

“I accept that you had poor mental health at the time, but I’m concerned about your level of empathy towards these officers and your attitude towards the police in general.”

As an alternative to a prison sentence, Sheriff Johnston sentenced Islam, of Kincorth Place, Aberdeen, to a community payback order with supervision for 12 months and ordered him to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work.
