(ITV) An asylum seeker who allegedly professed to be the Prophet Muhammad and threatened to get a knife to kill someone in Belfast has been jailed for three months.
Prosecutors said Zakariya Hurre made stabbing gestures at members of the public before fleeing through the city centre in a bid to evade police.
The 28-year-old Somalian, who claims he was only rapping on the streets, admitted a charge of disorderly behaviour.
Belfast Magistrates’ Court heard police received complaints about a man striking out at passers-by on July 11 this year.
“One witness claimed the defendant stated he was the Prophet Muhammad and that he was going to get a knife and kill someone,” a crown lawyer said.
