'Muslim bully, 35, violently attacks 16-year-old boy for cuddling his girlfriend in London street'
A 35
year old Muslim 'bully' Michael Coe attacked a 16-year-old schoolboy and
branded his girlfriend a whore after spotting them cuddling in the street in
East London, Southwark crown court sitting on Mondayheard.
According to the
prosecuting counsel, Coe allegedly grabbed the teenager round the neck and
threw him to the ground in the unprovoked attack.
Coe apparently objected to the boy hugging his girlfriend, and then assaulted a passing teacher who witnessed the attack and tried to photograph Coe's car number plate.
Prosecutor Jonathan
Polnay told the court on
Monday;
"They were standing on the pavement doing
what some 16-year-olds do some of the time, cuddling each other in the
street", said Mr Polnay. They had the misfortune that of all the
people to drive by was this defendant."
Believing the boy was older than 16, Coe stopped his car and said: "Let that schoolgirl go."
Mr Polnay said the boy
objected, telling him they were both 16, and Coe told him:
"How would you like it if your sister was
cuddling?"
Coe then asked if the
couple were Muslims - which they are - but they denied it because they were
"worried what this defendant would do if they said yes".
At which point the
defendant said:
'Why am I wasting my time with you if you are
not Muslim?
There followed an
exchange of words, during which this defendant said something insulting about
his girlfriend, calling her a whore."
The boy replied:
"don't call my girlfriend a whore", said Mr Polnay, at which time Coe
allegedly "moved from unpleasant bullying to someone in the street to
something that is quite simply an assault."
Coe then grabbed the boy
on the neck and threw him on the ground, and the boy lost consciousness.
"The next thing he woke up on the floor and
he was bleeding", added the prosecutor. We would say it is really
completely unpleasant and utterly unwarranted. This is a grown man on a child,
a 16-year-old."
sMr Polnay
also alleges that Mr Coe then asked to a teacher who was taping
the assault to hand over his phone to him. The teacher, Mr Siwela
refused to give him the phone so the Mr Coe grabbed him too and threw him to
the floor.
Mr Coe claims he was
acting in self-defence, the trial continues.
