JUDGE SLAMS ‘YOB’ WHO PUT CHRIS WHITTY IN A HEADLOCK
A “yobbish†former estate agent left Professor Chris Whitty “humiliated†after he put him in a headlock when England’s chief medical officer declined to take a photo with him.
Lewis Hughes, 24, of Romford, Essex, put his future at risk with “10 seconds of madness†when he accosted Prof Whitty in St James’s Park in central London last month, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard.
Footage of the incident, lasting around 20 seconds, was widely shared on social media.
Hughes, who was sacked following the incident on June 27, admitted a charge of assault by beating at the court on Friday and was handed a suspended sentence.
Senior district judge Paul Goldspring told the defendant: “He (Prof Whitty) goes about his very difficult job without the expectation of yobs like you accosting him, assaulting him.
“And to compound it all, he was further humiliated by that video being posted.â€
