"Dr Hajahmed argued at the MPTS hearing that the victim provoked the attack, stating they both shared responsibility, but the panel considered it a sustained attack."
"The panel emphasized Dr Hajahmed does not understand the gravity of his actions, highlighting that violence cannot be justified, especially from someone in medicine."
Dr Osman Hajahmed, a junior doctor at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, was convicted of assault after a woman reported him to the police for striking her with a stick.

The panel expressed concern over Dr Hajahmed's lack of understanding regarding the seriousness of his actions, emphasizing that a single 'mistake' cannot justify violence, particularly from a medical professional who is expected to uphold higher standards.
