Three men ran after a robber into East Putney Station, London, after he hit and kicked an old woman, but were turned back at the gate because they had no tickets. This was what the Central Court stated this morning.
They were refused the use of a telephone to call the police, so they bought platform tickets. When they went into the station, they caught the robber, a youth of 21. One of the men had to go outside to make a 999 call.
Mr Justice Stevenson said the incident ought to be brought to the attention of the railway officials. He sent the robber to prison for five years.
Terry Tailor earlier had admitted his attack to Mrs Percy, aged 67, with the purpose of robbing her.
