The terrified victim, 60, fell to the ground when her handbag was grabbed and was repeatedly kicked until 48-year-old Stephen Wallace ran off - an incident caught on CCTV and shown to the jury

A dangerous thug who attacked and robbed a vulnerable woman of her handbag at a railway station has been jailed for more than two years.

While the woman lay terrified on the ground, the thug repeatedly kicked her - causing injury - demanded her purse and made threats of violence. Defence solicitor Tony Bolland told the court that this was a "very serious unprovoked attack on a member of the public that will have long-standing effects, both mentally and physically".

But on February 9, 2021, when cops attended at his home at 9pm, he failed to answer - with his excuse being he was "in the house but under the influence of alcohol".
