A Sudaenese asylum seeker who threatened a Christian preacher with a knife at Speakers' Corner is facing jail.
Ahmed Mohammed, 35 was at the open-air public speaking site in London's Hyde Park while Daniel Ayettey was stood on a ladder and preached to the crowd on May 25.
Mohammed tried to drag the preacher off the ladder before brandishing a knife at him.
The Sudanese national, who arrived in the UK in 2012 and had already clocked up 29 convictions by the time of the incident, screamed: 'I'm going to stab you.'
