A 29-year-old yob has been slammed behind bars for clocking a woman with a savage, unprovoked punch in broad daylight. Tristan Fretwell launched the shocking attack on Milton Street, Nottingham, on the night of 6 February.

CCTV reveals Fretwell sneaking up from behind before slugging the woman in the face, sending her crashing to the pavement. She was out with her partner and friend – all left stunned with no clue why she was targeted.

Officers nearby saw the attack and gave chase, nabbing Fretwell red-handed and severely drunk at the scene. The next day, he claimed he had no memory of the assault and initially stayed silent.
“She had come to Nottingham to see her favourite band. What should have been a brilliant night out was ruined by this violent attack.”

“I hope Fretwell uses his jail time to reflect on the damage alcohol-fuelled violence does.”

“Thanks to our quick response, this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated. We will keep patrolling to keep Nottingham’s streets safe.”
