FORMER Cardiff City footballer stabbed a man in the back in a “pre-meditated and not provoked” attack in a quiet London street, a court has heard.
Ibrahim Meite, 25, who also played for League Two side Crawley Town, allegedly knifed Rio Amos, 24, in Putney, south London, on the morning of September 12 2019.
Amos is said to have then produced a larger blade and stabbed Meite after he fell over while running from the scene.
Prosecutor Max Hardy said it was “unlikely this was a chance passing” when Meite encountered Amos after driving his White Mercedes to the “quiet residential street” with Leon Hughes, 33, in the front passenger seat
