Marek Zakrocki, the supporter of the far-right group, Britain first has avoided prosecution for attempted murder despite claiming that he was going to “kill a Muslim” before driving a van at the manager of the Indian restaurant, Spicy Nights.
48-year-old Zakrocki was carrying a knife and a Nazi coin when he was arrested in Harrow, North London in June. He was convicted of dangerous driving. She allegedly shouted “white power” and gave a Nazi salute before attempting to drive into Kamal Ahmed, but narrowly missed.
Polish-born window cleaner, Zakrocki attempted the attack on the anniversary of the EU referendum, 23rd June. It is said that he was drunk on wine and had earlier assaulted his wife before smashing the restaurant window.
When police raided his house, they found leaflets and newspapers promoting Britain First. It is also alleged that at the scene of the event, he told the police, “I'm going to kill a Muslim. I'm doing it for Britain. This is the way I'm going to help the country. You people cannot do anything.”
He is due to be sentenced on 12th January 2018 and may face imprisonment.
