The 32-year-old, who identified as a Nazi, “wanted to provide a ‘rallying cry’ to inspire other extreme right-wing terrorists”, the force said. Medlock targeted solicitor Toufique Hossain at the Duncan Lewis law firm in Harrow on 7 September 2020, and was arrested at the scene with a rucksack containing a knife, handcuffs, gaffer tape and two large flags “demonstrating extreme right-wing terrorist ideology”, Acting Cmdr Helen Flanagan, from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said.The receptionist managed to disarm him, despite being punched and kicked.
“By his own admission, at the time of these events, Medlock identified as a Nazi. Our investigation supported this, with officers finding a copy of Mein Kampf at his home address. “It is clear from what he said in police interviews, Medlock wanted to provide a ‘rallying cry’ to inspire other extreme right-wing terrorists.
