The Inner London Crown Court has delivered a verdict in the case of Brwa Shorsh, a 24-year-old migrant who, in February, pushed 61-year-old postman Tadeusz Potoczek off the platform at Oxford Circus underground station. New information reveals that Shorsh, who had previously been convicted on 12 counts for 21 offenses, avoided deportation by filing an appeal with the immigration tribunal.

During the incident in February, Brwa Shorsh, in a state of aggression, suddenly jumped to his feet and pushed 61-year-old Tadeusz Potoczek off the platform onto the tracks, claiming that Potoczek had given him a "dirty look." Potoczek ended up dangerously close to the live rail and was just seconds away from being struck by an oncoming train. Fortunately, one of the passengers quickly grabbed Potoczek and pulled him back onto the platform, preventing a tragedy.

In light of these new facts, this case raises serious questions about immigration policy and the control of criminals in public spaces. This is especially relevant for major tourist destinations like London, where thousands of travelers arrive daily. Ensuring the safety of tourists at locations like the underground has become a top priority.

Amid the increasing flow of tourists and related security concerns, authorities have announced plans to review deportation procedures for individuals with criminal records to enhance the protection and confidence of both residents and visitors to the city.
