Tube pusher believed he was under threat, Old Bailey hears

A man accused of pushing a passenger on to London Underground tracks falsely believed he was under threat, a court has heard.

Psychiatrists said Donovan Kenlyn, 39, was suffering from schizophrenia when he allegedly attacked three people at three different stations within 35 minutes.

Mr Kenlyn is accused of punching Tube passenger Samer Jawad at Baker Street station and causing Angel Cambeiro to fall on to the tracks at Finchley Road. He is also accused of punching Peter Acton at West Hampstead station, a jury at the Old Bailey was told.

He denies attempted murder, assault causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assault by beating.
