Suspect accused of pointing gun at police officer blew kisses to relatives in court

A man accused of pointing a gun at a police officer in front of horrified rush hour commuters blew kisses to relatives in court when he was remanded in custody.

Tony Adams, 46, was held following an incident near Mornington Crescent tube station in north London last Friday morning.

He was subsequently charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, using or attempting to make use of an intimation firearm with intent to resist arrest, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.

Adams appeared in the dock at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court this morning (Monday, February 7) wearing a grey prison uniform.

He spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the 10-minute hearing, and did not indicate pleas to any of the charges.

Bianca St-Prix, representing Adams, made no objection to bail being refused.

Adams, of Corby, Northants, blew kisses at family members in the public gallery as he was remanded in custody.

He faces a plea and trial preparation hearing at Wood Green Crown Court on March 9 this year.

Magistrate Clive Jenkin told him: ‘’These are very serious offences which you face.

‘’We believe you should be remanded into custody until you appear before a Crown Court.’’
