but how on earth can this piece of vermin not get real prison time for being caught on CCTV behaving like this.
Fare dodging then launching an attack on staff that has left them with life changing injuries. What on Earth is the point in the TFL rent a quote saying it shows violence against staff isn’t tolerated.
The sentence is pathetic. It should be 3-5 years. Where is the deterrent to others? I hope the union will stand up and try to have a right go at TfL and the authorities here. Say fund an appeal for a stronger sentence. Support their member in a way that shows other people jet they’re fighting (!) for their staff. Some poor TfL staff just went to work. And this POS has basically got away with ruining their life.
BTP said:“A violent fare dodger who attacked a member of Transport for London (TfL) Underground staff and left him needing surgery has today been sentenced.
Bajonar Bromfield-Nicol, 23, and of Drayton Road, Tottenham, was found guilty of Grievous Bodily Harm at Blackfriars Crown Court on 6th June, following the shocking incident at Victoria Underground station, London.
Today the Judge sentenced him to 12 months imprisonment suspended for 12 months, 150 hours of unpaid work and a rehabilitation requirement of 15 days. He was also ordered to pay £750 in compensation to his victim.
On 26th April 2018 at around 8pm, Bromfield-Nicol ‘double shuffled’ through the ticket barriers at Victoria without valid payment by tailgating a paying member of the public as they entered.
When challenged by the TfL member of staff he pushed him straight to the floor, causing serious injuries to the victim’s elbow and arm.
The victim’s injuries have required surgery and over 40 hospital appointments, and he is still yet to be able to return to full duties at work.”
