A MAN attacked his wedding photographer for never sending the footage or issuing a refund.
Mohammed Rahman, 44, took on Zamir Hanif at Glasgow’s Strathbungo on June 21, 2021.
Rahman pushed and punched Mr Hanif, who was in his car at a chance meeting.

Angry, Raman shouted, “Where’s my video?” after jumping on it.
Rahman pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Hanif to injure him in Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
The court heard that Rahman hired the victim in 2017 to “take videos of his wedding.”
Prosecutor Amanda Gallagher added, “Money was paid for his services, but the videos were never shared with Rahman and no money was returned.”
The couple had a chance meeting on Victoria Road when they both pulled up next to each other in their cars.
Rahman approached Mr. Hanif and opened his car door.
Miss Gallagher said: “He pushed Mr Hanif over the body and hit him in the face – hit him on the nose.”
Rahman asked, “Where’s my video?”

He then fled as paramedics – who happened to be at the scene – treated Mr Hanif before taking him to hospital.
Mr. Hanif received three stitches for a cut on the bridge of his nose.
Rahman was tracked down and arrested by the police.
Ryan Sloan, defending himself, told the court: “It’s a regrettable flare-up when he paid £3,000 to have his videos recorded, which were of three different celebrations.
“The victim personally recorded two of the events and the other time it was a staff member.
“As of June he had no video, refund or contact.
“He tried to reach Mr Hanif but to no avail.
“When he met him on the day of the incident, it was a chance encounter while he was buying a cake for his son.
“There was a conversation before he lost his temper.
“He was upset as this was the only video scheduled to be recorded – nothing more.”
Sheriff Sean Murphy QC told Rahman – a restaurant owner in his hometown of Cambuslang – that the background “is understandable and explains anger but not attack”.
He added: “There are other ways like lawsuits and other things to make sure it’s been provided.
“The options you chose were totally inappropriate.”
The first offender was fined £600.
