"The court heard how, during one of the robberies, Kelt followed a 22-year-old man onto the platform of Mile End Underground station and threatened to stab him if he did not hand over his mobile phone. After the victim handed it over, Kelt went through his pockets, then hit him in the face and pushed him to the floor."
"In court, he pleaded guilty to three counts of robbery, three counts of attempted robbery and two public order offences. He also admitted two public order offences, two counts of possessing a knife or bladed article in public, and common assault. He will be sentenced at the same court on 16 October. Kelt is already serving a three-year and nine-month prison sentence for three more robberies of items worth about 2,000, two more attempted robberies, two counts of possessing Class C drugs, and possessing a corrosive substance in a public place."
