He has been sentenced to 24 months imprisonment. The court heard that on the 14 June, Ali reversed his electric wheelchair into a 90-year-old and a 85-year-old woman who were waiting at the bus stop in Wickham Lane, Welling.
Both women were knocked to the ground and Ali then drove off. Police were called to the scene and CCTV evidence from a nearby shop was used to identify Ali, who was arrested on 18 June.
After he was searched at Plumstead Police Station, a small amount of cannabis was found.
While in custody he damaged a laptop after he pushed it onto the floor during an interview with detectives.
As a result of these actions, Ali was also charged with possession of a class B drug and one count of criminal damage, pleading guilty.
Detective Constable Iain Hill, of Bexley CID, said. “Ali has used a means in aiding movement as a weapon, injuring two vulnerable people in this despicable act showing absolutely no remorse for his actions.
"The sentence received reflects the severity of the offences. This was a cowardly attack on two vulnerable victims and this offender has been brought to justice."
