Homeless Man, 24, Found Guilty of Attempted Murder for Pushing 61-Year-Old Postman at Oxford Circus
Jul 31, 2024, 11:12 AM
A homeless man, Brwa Shorsh, has been found guilty of attempted murder after pushing a 61-year-old postman, Tadeusz Potoczek, in front of an oncoming Tube train at Oxford Circus station. The incident occurred on February 3, and Shorsh, 24, claimed he acted because Potoczek had given him a 'dirty look.' During the trial at Inner London Crown Court, Shorsh, who listened through a Kurdish interpreter, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and denied an alternative count of attempted grievous bodily harm. Despite his claims that he did not intend to kill and that the act was 'scary,' the jury found him guilty.
