A minicab driver, who threatened a teenage girl in Bromley before two women came to her rescue, has been handed a community order.

Abdul-Muhib Hannan, of Imperial Way, Chislehurst, pulled up in a silver saloon car alongside the 14-year-old girl, who was walking along Turpington Lane at around 3.30pm on January 14.

The 26-year-old threatened her in an attempt to get her into his vehicle but two women waiting at a nearby bus stop in Brosse Way intervened.

Officers arrested Hannan on suspicion of attempted kidnap but he was later charged with a public order offence.

He pleaded guilty at Bromley Magistrates’ Court to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards another person intending to cause them harassment, alarm or distress.

Hannan was sentenced at the same court on March 20 to a community order requiring him to undertake 150 hours of unpaid work.

He was also ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge and £85 court costs.
