A paranoid schizophrenic who drove to London with a 950,000 volt stun gun and other weapons in his car told police he was on his way to kill the Prime Minister, a court has heard.
Irfaq Naz, 34, had hammers, kitchen knives, a machete, an unsheathed Samurai sword and masking tape in his Vauxhall Astra when he was stopped in July after going the wrong way down street.
Officers later searched his home in Middlesbrough and found the Downing Street postcode and the names of other prominent political figures.
The taxi driver was detained under the Mental Health Act and admitted possessing a prohibited weapon, three counts of possessing an offensive weapon, seven counts of having a bladed article and dangerous driving.
Judge Simon Bourne-Arton, the Recorder of Middlesbrough, imposed a hospital order with a restriction order meaning Naz can only be released with the permission of the Home Secretary.
Teesside Crown Court heard he was stopped after driving down Camden High Street the wrong way.
Police found a knuckleduster in his shirt pocket and an 18-inch hunting knife in the waistband of his trousers.
Officers were concerned about his behaviour and found he had previously spent a month at Roseberry Park Hospital, Middlesbrough, as a mental health patient.
Nick Dry, prosecuting, said: "A search of his vehicle revealed other weapons. In the driver's door panel were three eight-inch kitchen knives.
"Between the driver's seat and door was a samurai sword, its sheath found nearby in the passenger foot well.
"From the rear seat officers recovered a claw hammer, a lump hammer and an axe which were in a plastic bag that also contained masking tape.
"In the boot they found a machete and a stun gun, shaped as a knuckleduster.
"That device, a Blast Knuckles 950,000 volt stun gun, was found to be in working order and a prohibited weapon."
The court heard that Naz had stopped taking his medication and was suffering from delusions at the time.
Dr Pratish Thakkar, a consultant psychiatrist, diagnosed paranoid schnizophrenia and said he posed a significant risk to others having acted on his delusions.
Outside court, Steven Orange, the district crown prosecutor for CPS Durham Tees, said: "It should be recognised that the sentence in this case is more about securing appropriate treatment for a man with significant mental health issues than punishment."
