A homeless thug has been sent to prison for shoving an unsuspecting victim onto live Tube tracks.
Kurdish man Brwa Shorsh, 24, was given a life sentence with a minimum of eight years, having previously been found guilty of the attempted murder of 60-year-old Tadeusz Potoczek.Shorsh, who had been sleeping rough since 2020, thought Mr Potoczek, a stranger, had given him a dirty look, prosecutors said before he was convicted.Mr Potoczek, a postman who was on his way home from work, narrowly missed touching the live rail on the southbound Victoria Line.
Maxine Jarrousse-Jones, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Brwa Shorsh attempted to kill the victim by deliberately and forcefully pushing him into the path of an approaching train. “He intended to harm the victim and it is impossible to imagine anything that could ever justify pushing anyone in front of a train like that.
