Violent cyclist jailed
A KNIFEMAN who nearly cycled into a 74-year-old man - then knocked him
out with a single “shocking” punch - has been jailed. The pensioner spent two days in hospital with a bleed on the brain following the attack outside Brown’s in York city centre as he was doing his Christmas shopping. A member of the public chased cyclist Oliver Duke Wharton down Davygate and, with two off duty police officers and others, caught and restrained him outside Debenhams. Eyewitnesses told York Crown Court they heard someone say “He’s got a knife” or “he’s dropped a knife” and saw a lock knife fall to the ground close to where the 22-year-old was struggling. Wharton, of The Gables, Holme Lane, Selby, who has previous convictions for robbery and carrying a knife, pleaded guilty to causing actual bodily harm. He denied carrying the lock knife in public but was convicted unanimously by a jury. Jailing him for 20 months, Judge Andrew Stubbs QC said about the punch that felled the pensioner: “This was a deliberate blow. It hit him so hard he was probably unconscious before he hit the ground “Afterwards you scarpered and were only brought to book by the bravery of the off duty officers and the member of the public who was so disgusted by what you had done they gave chase. http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/1629...hocking-punch/ |
