A MAN who beat his mother with a cup, pulled her hair and banged her head on the wall told a judge he was “very remorsefully sorry.”

Mohammed Farooq Miah attacked her and smashed up his sister’s phone after arriving at their home uninvited and unwanted, Bradford Crown Court heard.

He then returned to the address in breach of his bail and sneaked in behind his mother after she had put out the bins, prosecutor Fiona Clancy said.

He was removed by the police but got back in through a window.

This time he shouted at another sister, demanding money and cigarettes and saying he was hungry. She put her arms up to protect herself thinking he was going to assault her.

Miah, 21, of Coates Street, Little Horton, Bradford, then head-butted a police officer in the chest when he arrived to arrest him and admitted he had a kitchen knife in his pocket.

He pleaded guilty to assaulting his mother by beating her and criminal damage to the phone on April 16 and common assault, assaulting a police officer as an emergency worker and possession of the knife in a public place on June 2.

He was later remanded in custody and appeared before the court on a video link to HMP Leeds.

Miah had four previous convictions for nine offences, including robbery, attempted robbery and criminal damage. There was also a conviction for possession of a craft knife when he was 15.

Jeremy Hill-Baker said in mitigation that Miah was homeless and sofa surfing before finding accommodation. He felt paranoid and unsafe while on the streets and was emotionally immature.

He volunteered to the police that he had the knife and did not produce it or threaten anyone with it.

He apologised to the police officer he assaulted and was very remorseful about all the offences.

“He’s not heavily convicted. He could be managed in the community,” Mr Hill-Baker said.

His family “just wanted him at arm’s length.”

Miah then told the court: “I am very remorsefully sorry.”

Judge David Hatton QC sentenced him to ten months imprisonment, suspended for two years, with a 50 day rehabilitation activity requirement and 12 months supervision.

A restraining order bans him from going to his mother’s home for five years or until further order.

Judge Hatton said Miah had twice gone to the house “uninvited and unwanted.”

“This behaviour has caused and continues to cause considerable distress and detrimental effect on your family and it has to cease,” he said.
