Bachelorette star Paddy Colliar’s victim impact statement read to the court after being stabbed by Abdul Amin

A former reality TV star said he has flashbacks about realising he could have been killed when he was stabbed at a party, as his attacker’s behaviour in court was slammed.

A former reality TV star said he became an emotional wreck after he was viciously stabbed at a 60th birthday party in a pole dancing clinic.

Abdul Kadws Mohammed Amin awaits his fate after he stabbed topless waiter and former reality TV contestant Paddy Colliar in 2021.

Prosecutor Matt DeLorme read the victim impact statement of Mr Colliar, who was not present, to the District Court on Friday.

Mr Colliar said initially he felt numb after realising he had been stabbed.

“But then when it sank in and I understood that I could have been killed I was devastated,” he said.

Mr Colliar said he couldn’t sleep or work after the assault because he was an “emotional wreck” and left Adelaide to start a new life.

‘My flashbacks are always about how he stabbed me the first time and then how he tried to come at me again while I was lying on the ground,” he said.

“I still feel enormous relief for the young woman who may have been seriously hurt by this man and I am proud of what I did to help her.”

Known to many for his time on hit TV shows including the Bachelorette, F-Boy Island and Bachelor in Paradise, Mr Colliar was used to being in the spotlight.

But over the past four years, he found himself in the middle of more drama after being stabbed by Amin.

Amin, now 26, was arrested in August 2021 after emergency services were called to a pole dancing studio in Para Hills West.

There, they found Mr Colliar with a stab wound to his back.

During the trial, the jury heard the reality star was stabbed after intervening in a domestic altercation.

Mr Colliar told the jury that he had “intervened” after seeing Amin thrashing a woman around “like a ragdoll”, before Amin then turned on him.

He said it wasn’t until a young girl at the party said he’d been stabbed that he noticed the blood “pouring” out of him.

They further found the offence was aggravated because Amin used a weapon – a flick knife he had argued was only used to cut the birthday cake.

During sentencing submissions on Friday, Mr DeLorme said Amin showed disrespect throughout the court proceedings.

“I noticed his behaviour when the victim was giving evidence, was in my view, an attempt to intimidate the victim as much as he could,” Judge Ian White commented.

“He did that by staring intently at him during the entirety of his evidence that I saw.”

Aaron Fornarino, for Amin, told the court his client, who fled to Australia as a refugee at seven from Iraq, maintains he did not stab Mr Colliar.

Judge White will sentence Amin next month.
