'The man accused of injecting food with blood-filled syringes in supermarkets in west London is a solicitor,

stores -a Tesco Express, Little Waitrose and Sainsbury’s Local -in Fulham Palace Road on Wednesday evening.
A smiling Leoaai Elghareeb and the clean-up.
Elghareeb, of Crabtree Lane, Fulham, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday afternoon, where
he indicated no plea. The defendant is alleged to have first entered the Waitrose store at 7.30pm and started
‘throwing around’ syringes filled with blood and injecting them into food items.
The court heard how he is also accused of doing the same thing in the nearby Sainsbury’s store, where he is also
alleged to have thrown eggs. It is claimed he then went on to inject more items in Tesco Express before being
arrested.
The court was told Elghareeb is a solicitor and a ‘man of previous good character’.
The precise contents of the blood in the syringes are not known, the court heard.
Officers in forensic suits were seen in Fulham Palace Road on Thursday, seizing items including processed meats.
After the incident people were told to bin any food they had bought in any of the stores that night.
Elghareeb was remanded in custody and will appear at Isleworth Crown Court on September 24...'
