Two people have been charged after a video emerged of a man burning a Koran and another man attacking him outside the Turkish consulate in London.
Hamit Coskun, 50, from Derby, had been charged with a religiously aggravated public order offence after he was filmed apparently burning the book in Rutland Gardens, Knightsbridge on Thursday, the Metropolitan Police said.
Coskun was remanded in custody and will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
Mr Coskun appeared at Westminster magistrates’ court on Saturday, and was released on conditional bail. He will appear before the same court for trial on May 28.
Moussa Kadri, 59, from Kensington and Chelsea, has been charged with causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon.
He was bailed and will appear at the same court on Monday.
Note, that the victim of a knife and kicking assault was initially held in custory, while the man spitting, kicking and wielding a rather large knife was never detained. And no mention of the Deliveroo rider who stopped to join in. Two tier criminal system indeed.
