A man has appeared in court charged with repeatedly stabbing an A&E doctor at a West London hospital after allegedly pursuing him with two knives. Mahdi Abdullahi, 27, appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Friday, May 29.
Abdullahi was charged with wounding with intent, possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, and theft in a dwelling other than an automatic machine or meter. Prosecutor Ravinder Chodha stated that it is alleged Abdullahi stole a knife from a care home in the early hours of Tuesday morning before heading to Hillingdon Hospital in West London.
Ms Chodha said Abdullahi was actively searching around the hospital for A&E doctor Paul Bisnar, who had treated him two days earlier, before allegedly stabbing the medical professional multiple times as he attempted to flee. Abdullahi, of Pield Heath Road, Hillingdon, is accused of being in possession of two knives during the alleged incident.
Wearing a grey jumper, Abdullahi spoke only to confirm his date of birth and address at the court hearing. He was remanded into custody and will next appear at Isleworth Crown Court on June 26 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
