## Key points

- Alfatih was convicted of wounding a bailiff with a knife.
- The jury was not told of the terrorism allegations.
- He was also convicted of knife possession and van damage.

## Summary

Mohammed Alfatih, a Birmingham man reported to have links to Hamas and suspected of involvement in an alleged plot in Germany, has been convicted over a knife attack on a bailiff. The case matters because the jury was not told of the terrorism allegations, and reporting restrictions on Alfatih’s identity ended after the trial.

The attack took place outside Alfatih’s home as a bailiff pursued more than £2,250 in parking-fine debt linked to his wife. Jurors convicted him of wounding and possessing knives unlawfully, but cleared him of wounding with intent; he was also found guilty of damaging the bailiff’s van. The bailiff needed hospital treatment for a deep head cut, while German prosecutors have separately accused a man identified as “Mohammed A” of helping transport and store weapons.
