A violent robber lured his victim with a promise of selling him crypto currency then sliced him up with a Rambo knife and threw him into a freezing lake.Abdi Hassan, 27, of Janson Close, Brent was jailed for 14 years at St Albans Crown Court on Monday (October 30), after he was convicted of GBH, robbery and possession of an offensive weapon in a trial at Harrow Crown Court in June 2023.Hassan was part of a three strong knife gang who used promise of crypto currency to tempt their victim to Neasden Recreation Ground in Brent, North West London, in December 2021.When the victim – a man in his 20s – arrived, they knocked him to the ground and Hassan drew his Rambo knife, slashing the man on the back, arms, and legs before chucking him into the sub-zero water of a nearby lake.Police used ‘fast time intelligence’ to track down Hassan and he was arrested and brought before the courts.But the force says the other two attackers are still at large nearly two years later.Brent Reservoir next to Neasden Recreation Ground in North West London PC Gulennur Gaygusuz of the North West Command Unit said: “This was a particularly violent attack on a defenceless man who was left injured and traumatised after being thrown in freezing water in the middle of winter.“Hassan inflicted knife injuries on the victim, repeatedly slashing him during a sustained attack, causing long-term psychological trauma.
Work continues to bring the two other people responsible to justice.” Hassan was given an extended sentence, meaning he will serve another four years on licence when he is released.Got a story or a tip off?
