Man who broke Cambridge Tesco worker's nose is jailed

Mohammed Ouadi broke one member of staff's nose

A man who attacked two Tesco workers when they tried to prevent him stealing a bottle of wine has been jailed.

Mohammed Ouadi, 40, of Ring Fort Road in Cambridge, lashed out at the store in Orchard Park, north of the city, at about 08:00 GMT on 30 December.

He punched one member of staff, breaking their nose, pushed another to the ground and damaged the shop.

He admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm and was jailed for two years and nine months.

Ouadi also admitted common assault, criminal damage and breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) that he have previously been given.

Cambridgeshire Police said he breached his CBO by trying to get a member of the public to buy milk for him, before he tried to take the wine.

He was sentenced on Tuesday at Huntingdon Law Courts.

Det Con Isobel Clegg said: "Ouadi entered Tesco that day with the intent of causing trouble. He caused a lot of damage to the shop and broke an innocent person's nose.

"I am pleased the courts have recognised he is a dangerous man and he'll be off the streets of Cambridgeshire for a good length of time."
