(Jewish News) A man will be detained in a secure medical facility after being sentenced over a series of attacks on members of the Jewish community in Hackney.
Abdullah Qureshi, 30, was handed a hospital order on Thursday after he was convicted of the attacks last November.
Judge Kalyani Kaul KC described his crimes as being “terrible events for the entire Jewish community.”
Detectives launched an investigation after three people were assaulted within a two-hour period in the Stamford Hill area on the evening of August 18, 2021.
Qureshi, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, pleaded guilty to two counts of assault by beating, and one count of GBH, in relation to the attacks.
