An east London man has admitted threatening to “kill Jewish schoolchildren”.

Mohamed Ullah, 35, from Hackney, threatened to “decapitate” the youngsters in a remark to Avani Hari on 13 February.

Ullah, who is being held in custody, pleaded guilty at Wood Green Crown Court on Friday to making a threat to kill.

He also pleaded guilty to racially aggravated harassment.

He has further admitted damaging a water dispenser and causing a flood at Homerton Hospital in Hackney, also on 13 February.

Ullah first admitted the offences on 5 June, but a judge imposed a reporting ban as he denied three assault allegations from the same day.

Reporting restrictions were lifted on Friday after Ullah pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman, Janet Chukwu. Prosecutors agreed to drop the other two assault charges.

Judge Daniel Fugallo ordered the probation service to make an assessment of dangerousness of Ullah, before his sentencing hearing on 5 August.

Defence barrister Tom Kharran told Friday’s hearing: “The defendant at the time of the offending was about to be discharged as a patient from a mental institution, and he has been assessed as fit to plead.”

Ullah chewed his nails throughout Friday’s hearing, as he listened via videolink from HMP Pentonville.

He will be remanded in custody until sentencing.
