Ms Nemat said: "He said he decided to go to his pregnant girlfriend and leave once a concrete slab had been thrown."
"The mood began to change and others behaved in a disgraceful way. He joined in. Only he knows why he did that. It has been his first time in custody. The defendant told me this morning through teary eyes that he has never been so frightened in his life.
