Peter Jagroo, 56, has been given a suspended sentence despite the court hearing he has shown no remorse for the attack in September 2014.
Southwark Crown Court heard he lost his temper when the postie rang his doorbell to be let into Solidarity House in Park Avenue which is managed by Brent Housing Partnership.
Jagroo, who is a carer for his mother, hurled abuse at the postman down the intercom before grabbing the rusty hammer from his flat and trying to hit him when he entered the building.
Luckily the postman wrestled him to the ground and grabbed the hammer from him.
Jagroo has a previous conviction dating back to 1996 for wielding a sword in public, for which he was fined £250.
He had denied affray but was convicted by jurors.
His lawyer pleaded with the judge not to send him to jail as he would lose his accommodation.
Michael Hall said: “He had a trial, he’s shown no remorse or contrition and he has to deal with that.
“I would ask your honour to suspend any sentence. If your honour was to pass a sentence of immediate custody, he would lose his accommodation.”
Sentencing him to eight months in jail suspended for two years, Judge Deborah Taylor said Jagroo’s reaction was ‘wholly disproportionate’. She said: “It’s only because he grabbed the hammer that you didn’t cause him serious harm.”
She added: “It’s not in the public interest that a 56-year-old man who’s not been in prison before receives an immediate custodial sentence.”

Seriously?? 2nd offence and he shouldn't go to jail because he got let off last time? I wouldn't care if he lost his flat, he would still be accomodated, just in a locked room! Serves him right too.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Sends out the wrong message, he should have been jail and then he will have time to think about it.
