A NOTORIOUS Birmingham rapper attacked a petrol station worker with a 'make shift flamethrower' in a row over cigarettes.

Omar Abdirizak shouted 'I'm a terrorist, I will kill you' before blasting flames at a terrified shopkeeper at Holloway Head Service Station in the city centre, using an aerosol can and lighter.

The 32-year-old, known as 'Twista Cheese', then took aim at a Tango Ice Blast machine before 'risking catastrophe' by shooting flames on the forecourt.

Abdirizak, who has mental health issues, was arrested after calling police himself later that night.

Two months after the incident he was jailed for 20 weeks for making a threatening TikTok video about Tommy Robinson.

At Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday he was sentenced to six years and nine months custody with an extended two-year licence having admitted robbery and arson.

Abdirizak went to the petrol station at around 8.20pm on January 12 this year.
