ON AIR NOW:

Man raged at pregnant woman for simply talking outside his home

A man threw a brick at a car in a fit of rage after he became upset by nothing more than a pregnant woman talking to a friend outside his home.

Mohammed Iqbal, 33, of West Street, Scunthorpe became aggressive towards the woman, simply for talking near his home.

He admitted affray on September 6 last year, when he appeared at Grimsby Crown Court. Prosecuting, Billy Torbett said the offender remonstrated with the woman. She told him she was pregnant and had only been talking to her friend. But that did not stop his tirade.

It escalated into violence when the woman’s partner got out of his car, which was parked nearby. When the aggression escalated the driver got back into his car and attempted to drive off.

The prosecutor said Iqbal then took a plank of wood to strike the car and then threw a brick at it, which caused extensive damage.

For Iqbal, Ian Durant said: “He now knows what causes his aggression. It is alcohol and cannabis. His future is now in his hands and he does his best to steer away from cannabis.” Iqbal had already served the equivalent of a nine-month sentence while in custody, the defence barrister said.

He apologised to the victims and the court on his client’s behalf. Judge Alex Menary said it had been an unprovoked attack .

He imposed a 12-month sentence in prison, suspended for 12 months. He also ordered him to do 15 Rehabilitation Activity days and 100 hours of unpaid work.
