Police found him carrying a large kitchen knife wrapped in a plastic bag
Prosecutor Jade Edwards said Jarra was bailed but 10 days later was arrested again after an altercation on Dewsbury Road in which he slammed a car door on a child who was trying to exit a parked vehicle as Jarra walked by. The child was struck in the head by the door, and a confrontation ensued between the boy’s stepfather and Jarra.
The court was was told that 43-year-old, formerly of Dewsbury Road, Leeds, and now of no fixed address, continues to deny being unwell, and claimed he was provoked on each occasion. However, he has been diagnosed as schizophrenic by two doctors, had been a patient at Newton Lodge psychiatric unit in Wakefield but then stopped taking is medication shortly after being released, resulting in the confrontations.
Psychiatrist Dr Eleanor Watson gave evidence in court and recommended he be detained. She said: “At times he is unwell and unable to rationalise other people’s behaviour with a propensity to view their actions as provocative.”
