Charity worker in court as top chef who worked with Gordon Ramsay left critical after Notting Hill Carnival ‘attack’
A CHARITY worker has appeared in court after a top chef was left fighting for his life after being attacked at Notting Hill Carnival.
Mussie Imnetu, who worked under Gordon Ramsay, was discovered unconscious with a head injury on Monday night.
The 41-year-old remains in hospital in a critical condition.
Omar Wilson, 31, today appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent.
He was emotional as he spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the hearing.
The court was told Mussie suffered catastrophic brain injuries, including bleeds on the brain and multiple cardiac arrests.
Wilson, who is currently self-employed and is a director for a charity, was remanded into custody.
He will next appear at Southwark Crown Court on September 27.
The horror unfolded after Mussie, who is the head chef at Arts Club in Dubai, left the restaurant's sister venue in Dover Street, Mayfair.
A CCTV image released by police shows the Swedish chef looking at his phone as he departed shortly after 1pm.

He was wearing a blue T-shirt and black jeans, and later bought a white baseball cap, Scotland Yard said.
Mussie then arrived at the Dr Power restaurant on Queensway, West London, at around 10.30pm.
He was discovered just under an hour later and rushed to hospital.
Mussie was visiting the UK on business from Dubai where he lives and works.
As well as collaborating with Gordon Ramsay, he had also worked for MasterChef host Marcus Wareing and Alain Ducasse.
The Met’s Specialist Crime Command are still trying to piece together Mussie’s movements earlier in the day.
Anyone with information can call police on 101 using the reference 8020/26AUG.
