Daniel Dickons knocked the victim off her bike 'for no reason' - causing her to suffer multiple injuries, including a gash to her chin and an exposed kneecap. The 39-year-old was detained at Culver Parade in the Isle of Wight following the attack, while the woman - who had fallen onto the beach below - was taken to hospital.
Just another day in lawless Britain, where no-one is allowed to carry the means to defend oneself, because that is the purview of the State.
The Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court heard the assault was unprovoked and happened ‘for no reason.’ The woman’s bike landed on top of her, and she was initially unable to move one of her legs. Emergency services attended the scene, including an air ambulance crew. The victim was taken to the hospital and discharged later that night.
Dickons, from the Isle of Wight, was detained at the scene by a member of the public before being arrested by police. The prosecutor told the court it remains unclear why Dickons carried out the attack, although he told officers he ‘thought it would be funny, so he did it.’
Just another Morlock wandering the streets of Britain…
Dickons pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was handed a 52-week jail term, suspended for 24 months, to include a six-month alcohol treatment requirement and 35 rehabilitation days. Dickons was also ordered to pay £1,000 compensation.
That would be a pathetic sentence for a first time offender.
Dickons has six previous convictions for six offences dating back to 2008.
Details aren’t given, but I suspect are all the same low impulse control offences which the justice system has so far failed to correct him of, and doesn’t see fit to even try this time.

The problem with ordering compensation is that it then becomes a civil debt. If the offender fails, or refuses, to pay that debt, it is up to the victim to seek the money through the civil court, which often costs them more than the debt.
To me, the compensation should be paid to the court, as part of any fine, and that sum paid to the victim by the court. Refusal to pay that sum, could result in a custodial sentence. In that way, the victim receives some form of justice, and it could help concentrate the mind somewhat of the offender.
Over to you, Home Secretary.
