Khalife said he deliberately “acted suspiciously” around a food delivery lorry and was spotted by kitchen staff.

He continued to deny charges of contravening the Official Secrets Act and Terrorism Act .

A plain clothes detective sergeant told the court he “jumped out’ of his car and “ran down an alleyway to the canal” He said he saw a person matching Khalife ’s description and made the decision to draw his taser.
