This is the thug who punched a young woman in the face as she sat in her car outside a North London police station on her way to report a crime.
Christopher McFayden, 44, of Bideford Road, Ruislip was sentenced to seven months imprisonment for causing actual bodily harm to the 21 year-old on June 21.
Wood Green Crown Court heard it was noon when the defendant – who knew the victim – approached her car outside Colindale police station.
McFayden punched the young woman on the face, leaving her bruised and swollen, and made off.
The victim, who was with her sister, was taken to hospital and treated for her facial injuries.
Police circulated a description of McFayden and a patrolling PCSO spotted and followed him until officers arrived to make the arrest.
Detective Constable Laxmi Kotecha said: ”It is hard to imagine a more cowardly attack.
“McFayden picked on someone who could not defend themselves.
“The victim was left shocked and traumatised by the attack and I must pay tribute to the bravery of the victim and her sister for their courage in helping to bring McFayden to justice.”
McFayden was also ordered to pay £660 compensation to the victim.
