Man assaulted traffic warden over ticket
A BURTON man launched a racially aggravated assault on a parking warden for ticketing a car belonging to someone he knew.
Matab Ali was remanded in custody after failing to turn up for his initial trial date on Monday, January 4, with police having to hunt him down.
North Staffordshire Justice
Centre heard his case on Wednesday, January 6, when Ali, 27, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated assault by beating in Edward Street, Burton on October 13, 2020.
He also admitted a racially aggravated public order charge of using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence on the same date.
A third charge of failing to appear at court was also admitted by Ali, of Weston Park Avenue, Stretton.
Ali will now appear before Cannock Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, February 3, when he is due to be sentenced for the offences. He has been granted conditional bail until then.
