A convicted sex offender has been jailed again after spending 14 minutes telling a police call handler he was going to attack British Transport Police officers.
Mansoor Ahmed, 31, of Blackthorn Avenue, West London, launched his hate-filled tirade after calling BTP’s First Contact center in late May.
He said: ‘I’m gonna stab them (officers), open their heart. You heard me, yeah? When I find one of your transport police officers, I’m going to put acid on his face. What are you gonna do?’
Ahmed called BTP and provided a reference number for his own case, in which he was investigated for sexually assaulting two women on the London Underground in late 2020.
BTP detectives brought him to justice for those sexual assaults, and he was jailed for two years and two months.
Angry that his crimes and custody photo were made public after he was convicted, Ahmed hurled abuse at the call handler for nearly 14 minutes.
During the call, he told the operator: ‘I’m coming to stab all of you […] I’m coming to stab a transport police officer.’
Ahmed also made a series of sexually violent threats towards women and children, before adding: ‘When I find one of your transport police officers, I’m going to put acid on his face.’
Detectives from BTP’s Major, Serious and organized Crime (MSOC) team launched a manhunt, and Ahmed was arrested two days later, on May 29, in West London.
He called arresting officers ‘dossers’ and continued to hurl abuse at them as they drove him to custody.
In the interview, he told detectives that a ‘red mist’ came over him on the call that stemmed from his crimes and the photo being made public by BTP.
Ahmed also admitted to being a criminal but claimed he’s not evil. At Inner London Crown Court, Ahmed was jailed for six months.

He had previously pleaded guilty to Threatening Communications, Possession of Cannabis, and a Public Order offense.
BTP Detective Constable Lee Smith said: ‘Mansoor Ahmed’s threats towards our call handler and officers were frankly disgusting.
‘He’s a career criminal with a string of previous convictions, so it was imperative we caught him soon after the call before he could harm our officers or the public.
‘This outcome shows we’ll never stand for horrific abuse or threats towards anyone at BTP.’
