The thug was let off with only an 18 month suspended sentence, a £1,000 victim surcharge, a rehabilitation programme, and 180 hours of community service despite the severity of his actions and prosecutors' calls for a harsh prison term.

Marcus Chapman, from Ann Street, Brighton, has received a restraining order prohibiting him from visiting any address related to the victim or the Greater Metropolitan College until December 26th 2022.

The "man" continued to beat his victim, a woman, despite other members of the public trying to restrain him.
