(Leicester) 22 year old Yusuf Aka has been jailed for 5 years in the UK
over how in January this year he attacked people with a 8 inch hunting knife
inside a hospital because he felt he wasn't receiving the attention he wanted.
At around 2am on the 16th of January Aka on release from a 7 year prison sentence for armed robbery which he received in 2013 approached the entrance of Leicester Royal Infirmary and as he passed 2 men walking past he stabbed one in the back and then proceeded to chase them. On giving up that endeavour he entered the emergency room and proceeded to attack patients and staff whilst trashing the room. He was brought down by 2 security guards, who held him down until the police arrived.
Whilst being interviewed, he stated that he did what he did as he wanted attention. In his defence, his brief stated that his client has…mental health issues. He was jailed for 5 years, with an additional 5 years on licence if he offends again when released. You do have to ask the question, what planet does the judge come from, as you know, Yusuf is going to carry out another crime on his release, resulting in the death of an innocent person.
