Police arrest jockey over alleged assault of a fellow rider which left them with ‘serious injuries'
POLICE have arrested an apprentice jockey after they allegedly assaulted a fellow rider, leaving them with 'serious facial injuries'. The jockey, who is 21 and based in Newmarket, has been placed on bail until November while Suffolk Police continue their investigation. 1 Earlier this month, cops were called to an address in Exning, near Newmarket, following reports of an assault. A man in his 20s, understood to be another apprentice jockey, required hospital treatment with what police described as 'serious facial injuries', though no arrests were made at that point in time. Suffolk Police said in statement sent to the Sun on August 7: "Police were called 5.07pm on 4 August to reports a man aged in their 20s had been assaulted the previous night in Exning near Newmarket and had attended hospital with serious facial injuries. "Police investigating. Currently no arrests. Anyone with any information is asked to contact police quoting crime reference 37/43761/25." On Thursday, police issued a second statement which said: 'A 21-year-old man was arrested on 18 August on suspicion of assault (GBH). He was subsequently bailed to return to police on 18 November. The investigation continues.' Police policy is neither to confirm nor deny the identity of any individual before the point at which a charge is issued. The Crown Prosecution Service defines GBH as "really serious harm. The harm does not have to be either permanent or dangerous" and, if found guilty, perpetrators can face jail sentences.

Moment thug punches innocent passenger, 60, in the face as he tries to rob his bag at railway station
A huge thug violently punched a 60-year-old man in the face in an attempt to rob him at a railway station. Lance Hughes, who was on probation, followed the victim up the stairs towards the ticket machine at Chester Road Railway Station in Birmingham in August last year. Hughes attempted to engage with the man before trying to grab a bag from his shoulder, a court heard. He then dragged the elderly victim towards the stairs and tried to wrestle the bag from his grasp. Disturbing CCTV footage shows Hughes holding the man in a headlock and then brutally punching him in the face while two women watched in horror. The brave victim managed to keep hold of his belongings and Hughes fled the station empty-handed. Hughes failed to disguise himself from CCTV cameras by placing his coat over his head and was later identified by officers. British Transport Police discovered he had only recently been released from prison and was under probation. The brave victim managed to keep hold of his belongings and Hughes fled the station empty-handed Officers waited outside the probation office for him to come out after his appointment and he was caught despite trying to flee on foot. The force said Hughes showed no remorse for his actions nor offered any apology or explanation during his police interview. Hughes pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and was jailed for four years and four months on August 8. He was also ordered to pay a court surcharge of £228 at Birmingham Crown Court. BTP Detective Constable Genna Chambers said: 'In attempting to rob someone in full view of CCTV cameras while on probation, Hughes acted with a shocking degree of audacity and stupidity, so I'm extremely pleased with the result in this case. 'In the end, all Hughes benefitted from his attempt is an extended stay in prison. 'I hope that it provides him ample opportunity to think on his actions, and serves as a warning to anyone who thinks about robbing others on the railway network.'
