An enriching bouncer has been sentenced to 17 months in prison after robbing and assaulting students in the city centre.
Kadeem Ali (pictured below), of Edwalton, pleaded guilty to one count of robbery, one count of actual bodily harm (ABH) and the possession of cannabis during a hearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday.
The first offence happened on March 12 when the 23-year-old tried to ‘be-friend’ two Loughborough University students as they left a city centre nightclub.
Prosecution Dawn Pritchard described how first year student, Daniel Pender, was “frozen” and “terrified he would be seriously hurt” after Ali cornered him in a dead end alley.
“Mr Pender and his friend tried to run away from the defendant and his friend got away... but the defendant caught up with him, grabbed him round the neck, pushed him up against the wall and demanded he got his wallet out.
“He said he would stab him if he didn’t, although no knife was seen.”
The second incident was just six days later when Ali again accosted a student - this time on North Sherwood Street.
Miss Porter described how second year student Thomas Mee was walking home from a takeaway at 3am in the morning when Ali approached him.
“He started off friendly asking whether he had any credit on his phone,” she said.
“Mr Mee denied he had a phone on him and then he asked for drugs, which left the victim feeling in danger.”
Ali then punched the 19-year-old in the face and kneed him in the stomach, before running off up North Sherwood Street.
Police saw the attack and chased him down, arresting him and finding cannabis both in his pockets and at a later search of his home - where Mr Pender’s phone and wallet were also recovered.
For his defence, Robert Egbuna said Ali had recently had two bereavements that had sent him “on a downward spiral” and he had not committed a crime before he turned 22.
Ali also had a doctor’s report to show he has obsessive compulsive disorder.
But as he had already been given a suspended sentence of six weeks for driving with excess alcohol and two assaults on a constable in February, Judge J Sampson felt he had had his chance.
The judge said: “I accept to a certain extent you went off the rails, but you were very clearly given a chance in February this year.
“I do have a public duty to perform and it would be cold comfort to your victims if the judge let you out because he felt sorry for you.
“You present a high risk of further offending.”
Ali was sentenced to 12 months for the robbery, four months for the ABH and an additional month for breaking the conditions of his suspended sentence, to run consecutively.
He also received one month for each of the two drugs offences to run concurrently with the rest of his sentence.
Vote BNP to stop more of this enriching scum entering the country
