‘I’ll f***ing split you open!’ Landlord cuts through front door with a CIRCULAR SAW as screaming tenant shouts ‘are you mad?!’ following row over rent
- Dr Muhammed Raheel Jethel and his family were left ‘fearing for lives’ over row
- Video shows the landlord using an electrical saw to cut through front door
A landlord allegedly lunged at his tenant with a circular saw after cutting through the front door following a row over rent.
Dr Muhammed Raheel Jethel and his family were left ‘fearing for their lives’ after receiving the threats from their landlord in Ballinasloe, County Galway, in Ireland.
Shocking video shows the man racially abusing the father-of-two before using an electrical saw to cut through the family’s front door on Monday afternoon.
Dr Jethel screamed ‘are you mad?’ as the landlord, who has not been named, lunged at him with the saw while shouting, ‘I’ll f***ing split you open’.
The landlord had claimed the family, who are originally from Pakistan, had not paid rent on the property, despite Dr Jethel, who is a surgical registrar, saying the money sent to the original account had been bouncing back and he was unable to contact the landlord.

It was two weeks ago that the family started to experience the threatening behaviour. The landlord allegedly arrived at the property with a locksmith and started drilling into the door.
Dr Jethel was working at the time. His wife and two children, aged one and three, were in the house and thought somebody was breaking in.
The doctor then called the Garda. He alleges he was told the incident related to a civil matter and that gardaí had no duty to intervene.
Following the arrival of gardaí, the apparent landlord calmed down and moved away from the property.
However, on Monday afternoon, the family was met by the same man brandishing a circular saw.
Dr Jethel then began filming the incident.
The video shows that, while holding the tool, the man believed to be the landlord said: ‘You might be going to see Muhammed – you’ve more to lose than me. No matter where you go in this life I will follow you.’
As he used the circular saw to cut the door, he said: ‘If I have to spend the rest of my life in jail, then I don’t care.’
Also on the video he can be heard saying: ‘I have a Quran in my car to burn. I don’t care about your family.’
In the video, Dr Jethel closed the door and then the man used the spinning blade to cut through the door, leading the doctor to open it and say he was calling gardaí.
The man responds and is then seen lunging towards the door while working the heavy-duty equipment. Dr Jethel is forced to take cover before screaming ‘you cannot do that’ as he pushed the landlord back through the doorway.
Dr Jethel screamed: ‘Are you mad? Are you f***ing mad?’

The man, holding the saw, said: ‘Yes I am mad, I’m mad at you!’ He then raised the saw again and warned: ‘You think I wouldn’t do it? I’ll f***ing split you open. You got it?’
Dr Jethel then repeats to the man that he is going to call the garda to which the landlord responds: ‘Well call the f***ing guards. I don’t give a s**t about your family. You’ll lose more than you ever lost.’
Dr Jethel’s friend and colleague, Dr Liqa Ur Rehman told the Irish Daily Mail that the family is ‘terrified’ and does not know where to turn.
‘They are by the door and they are terrified that the man will come back. They think their lives are in danger. The gardaí are telling him that it was not for them.’
According to Dr Ur Rehman, officers who arrived at the scene on Monday apologised for their colleagues’ behaviour.
Speaking yesterday, Dr Ur Rehman said the family has remained at the property but are terrified to leave it.
‘Last night, they all got no sleep. They were waiting by the door as they were afraid somebody would come back. Dr Jethel now has a solicitor involved and believes that this is harassment.
‘The landlord went wild. My friend does not want this to become more than it needs. He wants the landlord to apologise and then that can be the end of the matter,’ he said.
Dr Ur Rehman said he felt compelled to put the video on social media due to the alleged action of officers during both incidents.
He said he was ‘hugely disappointed and saddened by this attitude of local gardaí. If anything happens to him and his family, the situation might get out of control. Authorities must take action, before it’s too late.’
He added: ‘We are just worried that they will have nowhere to go.
‘There is very little housing for any people working in the hospitals. So this is terrible. He had the money as well and there was no issue with paying for the rent. He just did not know how to get the money to the man as his phone number was not working and the bank account he was using did not work.’
Once these claims were put to gardaí, a spokesman said: ‘An Garda Síochána are aware of a video in circulation online and can confirm that personal contact has been made with a private citizen. Enquiries are ongoing at this time.
‘Any person who believes they have been mistreated by any member of An Garda Síochána is entitled to make a complaint to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission.’
