The household of a pensioner who was attacked by a drug addict have launched a photograph of his accidents to reveal the severity of the offence.
The image of the unnamed 87-year-old man was launched by West Midlands Police after Samantha McDonnell was jailed for greater than seven years for the “sickening and brutal” assault.
McDonnell launched the assault after breaking into supported lodging in Hasbury Highway, Bartley Inexperienced, Birmingham, on March 4.
Officers mentioned the 37-year-old let herself in to the pensioner’s flat and demanded cash earlier than attacking him, knocking him to the ground.
Her sufferer, whose telephone was unplugged to cease him calling for assist, was admitted to hospital with extreme accidents, together with a damaged nostril and a bleed on the mind.
Though he has since been discharged from hospital, police mentioned “his life has sadly been modified endlessly” and he has needed to transfer to a brand new dwelling as a result of not feeling secure.
McDonnell, who stole from two pensioners and a assist employee on the property, was arrested at her flat in Bartley Inexperienced the next day.
She later admitted attempting to make use of a stolen financial institution card and was linked to the offences by DNA proof.
A sentencing decide at Birmingham Crown Courtroom jailed McDonnell for seven-and-a-half years final week for theft, theft and housebreaking, ordering her to serve a minimum of two-thirds of the time period earlier than she will be thought-about for parole.
