A violent thief has been sentenced to prison after assaulting a man and stealing his phone at a bus stop in Maidstone. Damien McCann, 28, attacked his victim in an unprovoked assault on the evening of 5 January 2020, leaving the man with multiple injuries, including a fractured tooth.
The victim, who was known to McCann, was waiting at a bus station near Pad’s Hill when McCann approached from behind and knocked him to the ground. As the victim lay helpless, McCann repeatedly punched and kicked his head and face before stealing a phone from his jacket and fleeing the scene on foot.
McCann’s sentencing brings a measure of closure to the case, but the victim and his family continue to recover from the trauma of the assault.
