On Sunday August 7th at 2.45 Tony Jacobs stopped behind a 4 wheel drive vehicle stationary at a red light in Warwick St at its intersection with Argyle St (facing east).
The light changed to green but the 4 w.d. did not move. With no vehicles approaching Tony then indicated and moved to the other side of the road to pass. The 4 w.d. then quickly moved right, across his path necessitating his braking to avoid a collision.
The driver of the 4 w.d.turned out to be Soheil Mehrab-Khani.

After the light had turned orange Khani sped through it. On April 14th this year Khani received a criminal conviction, was fined $600 and made the subject of a 3 year Restraint Order in respect of Tony for smashing his windscreen by bashing it about 6 times with his fist when Tony was parked at a red light near the New Town K Mart.
At that trial Tony detailed a total of 13 attacks on him by Khani when Tony has been in a motor vehicle.
Khani admitted 2 of those attacks. One was by blocking several other vehicles including Tony’s at a New Town Roundabout.In admitting that incident Khani said “I drove like a maniac” (to get to the roundabout).
The other was running in front of Tony’s car in North Hobart forcing emergency braking to avoid running him over after which Khani open the door,removed the keys and attempted to throw them away.
Other attacks detailed by Tony in Court included twice trying to pull him from a moving vehicle as he was driving off because Tony would not stop and listen to his rantings and twice violently swerving across the road and swerving at him in a “chicken” like fashion.
Tony described to the Magistrate that one of these incidents near St Mary’s school avoided a head on collision by an extremely small margin.
Tony described 3 incidents in Bathurst St on January 28th 2010 when at red lights at the intersection of Bathurst St with both Murray and Elizabeth St’s during lunch time traffic Khani bashed on Tony’s car and sought to have him get out and engage with him and when he then forcibly tried to cut across in front of Tony’s vehicle in Bathurst St between Elizabeth & Argyle St.
Khani gave sworn evidence that none of this occurred. It just so happens that Police Report # 201006163 obtained under Freedom of Information (now called “Right to Know’) records Khani as telling Police on 28.1.10 that he saw Tony driving in Bathurst St, that he “pursued” him and “engaged in verbal altercation”.
Khani also kicked and punched 6 holes in the boundary fence when he lived at 178 Brisbane St. Khani’s wife has given sworn evidence that she witnessed Khani kick the first of these. And this is a solid ,new fence with metal posts.
Pictures of the holes in the fence at Brisbane street, above:
The last hole made was near the rear. It is 70 cm x 17cm and was done with Khani’s fist.His lower arm was in plaster for about the next month.
Tony tells me that Khani later used the hole several times to spit at him. It is amazing that someone in Australia thinks that he has a right to “pursue” another motorist or to “drive like a maniac” to get to a roundabout to block traffic.
Tony tells me that he’ll be referring in some detail at the Anti-Discrimination” hearing next week to the DSM4 Psychiatric Manual to detail the acute Personality Disorder that he suggests Khani suffers from and which he believes makes him a threat to many others.
