Mohammed Abdulraziq
False imprisonment with intent to commit a sexual offence *
Sentence
11 years imprisonment with 4-year extended licence (total 15 years)
On March 30, 2025, at around 2pm in Winson Green, Birmingham, Mohammed Abdulraziq, a 32-year-old Sudanese national, snatched a five-year-old girl from the street after making sexualised comments to her mother. Intoxicated from beer and mamba, he took her to his room in a shared house, locked the door, and pulled down both their shorts. The girl's mother searched frantically, heard crying, and attempted to break a window with a scaffolding board. A friend climbed through the window but was assaulted by Abdulraziq, causing her to fall. A passerby helped force the door open, rescuing the girl. Abdulraziq's trousers fell down during the incident, revealing no undergarments. Separately, on March 25, 2025, in Lozells, he assaulted a father and son in a car park while intoxicated, damaging their vehicle and biting one of them.
Found guilty after trial of false imprisonment with intent to commit a sexual offence, sexual assault on a child, and assault by beating. Pleaded guilty to separate charges of assault, attempted assault, and criminal damage. Judge noted little insight into offences, history of drug abuse, anxiety, and depressive disorder. Prior conviction for threatening a doctor with a knife in 2022. High risk of serious harm to children assessed by probation service.
