Oxfordshire Man Behind Bars for Carrying Knife at Police Station

Mastazher Hussain, 32, from Banbury, has been locked up for carrying a knife in a public place and breaking court orders. The Oxford Crown Court sentenced him on December 5 after he was caught with a kitchen knife at Banbury Police Station on August 9.

Total Jail Time: 28 Months

  • 8 months for the knife possession
  • 20 months consecutive for breaching the suspended sentence order

Additionally, the court ordered the destruction of the knife involved in the offence.
