Homeless Man Sentenced to Life for Attempted Murder on London Tube

Brwa Shorsh pushed a stranger onto the tracks at Oxford Circus station, narrowly avoiding a fatal incident.

Brwa Shorsh, a 24-year-old homeless man, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of eight years for attempted murder after pushing a stranger onto Tube tracks.
The incident occurred on February 3 at Oxford Circus station, where the victim, Tadeusz Potoczek, was saved by a passerby and quick actions of a train driver.
Shorsh claimed he pushed Potoczek because he felt disrespected by a 'dirty look,' although the victim had no interaction with him.
Shorsh, originally from Northern Iraq, has a history of criminal behavior, including multiple convictions and a failed asylum claim in the UK.
The court commended the bravery of the passerby who helped Potoczek, awarding him £1,000 for his quick response.
