10:15 EDT, 5 May 2021 Parsons Green Tube bomber Ahmed Hassan called a judge an 'evil man' when he appeared in court today accused of assaulting a prison officer in Belmarsh jail. Hassan, 21, and Manchester Arena terrorist Hashem Abedi, 23, are charged with assaulting prison officer Paul Edwards at the maximum-security prison in Woolwich last May. Abedi, Hassan, and fellow inmate Muhammed Saeed, 23, snuck into an office and attacked Mr Edwards as he sat at his desk, it is alleged. Abedi is also accused of assaulting an emergency worker in the same incident. Abedi did not appear at Woolwich Crown Court but Hassan appeared via video-link from HMP Frankland in County Durham with a short beard wearing a grey polo neck jumper.
