According to police, he took her underneath a covered walkway so that they weren’t visible from the street.
Abbas took the woman who was also suffering from a fractured wrist to an area basement, where he performed a sex attack. Although he claimed that he attempted to dial 911, CCTV footage of Abbas shows him using his phone throughout the kidnapping and records prove that he didn’t call 999.
Paramedics arrived on the scene and took the victim to west London’s hospital for treatment for a fractured wrist.
The Met Police reports that she is now fully recovered.
Abbas said that it didn’t occur to him to press the emergency button while trying to aid his mother. Police also stated that he walked by at least three additional emergency buttons.

Abbas (from Haringey, north London) was today sentenced at Southwark Crown Court. He had been found guilty in an earlier hearing of kidnap, and sexual assault.
Gregory Perrins, the Judge who sentenced Abbas said that he had no doubt they would have done so. [the police officer]You have not been attended at that time. [Abbas]Would have continued to commit more severe sexual assaults.
The trial was held during Covid restrictions. To give evidence, the victim needed to return to the UK.
The Met Police Central West Command Unit’s Detective Constable Nigel Pacquette described the crime as “deplorable” and was the one who investigated.
Following the hearing, Abbas stated: “Abbas was on Tube with a tabard high-vis that would make it appear that he was TfL staff.”
This alone is alarming. However, his acts toward the victim are even more frightening, given that he wasn’t working.
He claimed that she had been taken into his basement by him to inspect her body and make sure there were no cuts or bruises. After which, he said he would help her. But he denied any training in medicine, and he hadn’t taken any steps to heal her severe head injuries.
It is shameful to exploit an injured woman especially when she needs immediate medical attention.
Abbas was arrested at the scene thanks to the prompt thinking of the officers that responded to the call.
“He was manipulative and prey-oriented and this verdict will ensure the protection of other women from him.
I am conscious that this case details and the predatory nature Abbas will cause fear among many women. This type of criminal is being removed from the streets. We’re working to eradicate them.
DC Pacquette paid tribute also to the bravery of the victim.
“The young woman targeted by Abbas was incredibly brave, determined, and patient during this investigation as well as the court proceedings,” he said.
She was declared dead in Britain, so Abbas made her return home to Britain, where she had been placed in quarantine, to be able to testify in court.
“I appreciate her efforts to ensure other women are not subjected to the perverse attentions from this man.
Any victim of sexual offenses can call 101 to report it.
