Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment a police dog sank its teeth into a squealing thug after he attacked a woman in the street. Leslie Sedgewick followed the lone woman before ambushing her from behind as she walked to work in Middlesbrough. 4 Leslie Sedgewick was filmed squealing as a police dog stopped him Credit: SWNS The 44-year-old then punched and kicked her to the ground before stealing her mobile during the attack. She managed to flee the horror and alert police after suffering a suspected broken nose and a chipped tooth. Footage shows PC Lee Whitehouse arrive on the scene with police dog Kira following the December 20 robbery. The cop told Sedgewick to stop but he instead fled to nearby garages where he was tackled by PD Kira. Bodycam shows the thug squealing in terror as the dog keeps a grip on his arm. At one point, he pathetically squeals: "I'm sorry!" Police later discovered Sedgwick had changed his clothes and dumped the woman's stolen items at a house nearby. He has now been jailed for four years and five months after he pleaded guilty to robbery. The victim told Teesside Crown Court how she had to hide her horror injuries from her child "so she didn't see and ask what had happened to me". She also revealed she was "petrified" during the attack and did not know if she was "going to die". The woman added: "I am constantly in fear that I don't know who is around me or what they are capable of doing." Detective Constable Pierce Ditchburn said: "This was a terrifying attack on a lone woman early in the morning, just a few days before Christmas. "Leslie Sedgewick targeted the woman for her mobile phone and has been attempting to steal a bike in the moments leading up to this attack. "No one should ever have to be afraid to go anywhere alone. "I'm pleased that Sedgewick is now behind bars, and hope that this justice can help provide some comfort to the victim in this case." 4 Sedgewick had attacked a lone woman in the street Credit: SWNS 4 He attempted to flee but was cornered by PD Kira Credit: SWNS

Book Review: ‘Fatherhood' studies the impact of family ties through history
The painter Norman Rockwell was known for his depictions of calm, domestic life in America, but his home life was nowhere near those idyllic portraits. In the beginning of 'Fatherhood: A History of Love and Power,' Augustine Sedgewick recounts the troubles that Rockwell faced at home. The artist complained about his wife's drinking and her criticism, and once told one of his sons that he would kill himself if not for his boys. The misery endured by Rockwell kicks off Sedgewick's wide-ranging history of fatherhood, which he calls a 'succession identity crises spanning thousands of years.' Sedgewick's book doesn't offer a clear answer on what it means to be a father, but he offers a series of enlightening stories about how several famous figures have approached fatherhood. It's a motley assortment of dads, ranging from Plato to Bob Dylan. The profiles, at times, feel disjointed, but that doesn't make the details Sedgewick unearths about how the approach to fatherhood changed over the years any less interesting. The book shows how naturalist Charles Darwin's close relationship with his sons helped shaped his research on natural selection. And how Dylan rewrote his happy childhood in Hibbing, Minnesota, as he gained fame and re-invented his story to fit his image. 'Dylan understood, arguably before anyone else, one of the defining emotional truths of rock 'n' roll: a perfectly nice home can sometimes be the worst kind of all,' Sedgewick writes. Sedgewick's book shouldn't be viewed as a guide for fathers or families, but it is a timely read for a point where family roles continue to evolve and be challenged. ___ AP book reviews:
