The $30,000 in damages and a six-inch knife

A 22-year-old Afghan asylum seeker has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for a supermarket rampage in Bradford, West Yorkshire, where he threatened staff and customers with a six-inch knife.

Milad Panjshiri, 22, stormed into the Morrisons supermarrket in Bradford, West Yorkshire, holding a six-inch knife he used to stab cans and threaten staff with.

The Afghan national pushed wine bottle shelves over and stabbed cans during the rampage while terrified staff evacuated customers .

18 months for a 'very troubling offence'

Sentencing Panjshiri to 18 months in prison, the judge said the case was 'a very troubling offence' and 'something in the way of a rampage'.

He said: 'He was brandishing that knife in a public place , and there can't be that many more serious examples of offending of this natture than what happened on that day.'

No doubt because of other incidents that have occurred both the staff and members of the public will have had a heightened awareness of something like this occurring.

Mitigating the case, Faud Arshad said mental health issues were a factor in Panjshiri's rampage and he told the court there was no evidence to suggest he attempted to attack a member of the public.
