A teenager who “terrorised and intimidated” people in his neighbourhood has been given an anti-social behaviour order.

Muntazir Hussain Shah, 17, of Hoxton Street, Girlington , Bradford, was made subject to the order by a district judge at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court yesterday. Giving evidence at the hearing, Police Community Support Officer Rita Pugal said Hussain Shah was confrontational and aggressive on September 21 last year as she waited for a vehicle to be recovered, getting into her “personal space”.

On November 4 she said he was present when members of a large group of young people were throwing fireworks. She said she saw him and he shouted “Pig” on that occasion.

The court was also told on February 23 Hussain Shah entered a shop from which he had been barred and refused to leave.

On July 27 this year, the court heard, PCSO Pugal was trying to ascertain the owner of an off-road bike when Hussain Shah told others, “She can’t do anything, she’s a PCSO.” Kate Bisset, for Hussain Shah, said he had been arrested on a number of occasions which had led to no further action being taken or an acquittal after trial.

The order, which lasts for two years, bans Hussain Shah from acting or inciting others to act in an anti-social manner in the Bradford district, from entering a particular house in Hoxton Street and from contacting named residents.

District Judge Sandra Knapton told him: “I am not punishing you. I am just trying to stop you behaving in a way you have done in the past.”

In a statement given after the hearing, anti-social behaviour officer John Crosland said: “This youth has been behaving anti-socially for more than a year. He has terrorised and intimidated residents, visitors and business persons in the Girlington area and is a bad influence on younger youths.

“He has been very disrespectful to uniformed police officers in the area and it is hoped that now he is subject of an ASBO he will change his ways and a better quality of life will be restored.”
