Preston thug attacked blind man and abused blind girlfriend in 'frightening encounter'
An 'arrogant' thug who assaulted a blind man and harassed his blind girlfriend in a 'frightening encounter' has been jailed for eight weeks.
The blind man repeatedly asked Boothman to leave them alone, pointing out that he was blind and had a white stick and was feeling uncomfortable by his approaches. But Boothman became abusive and made several attempts to get closer to the victim's partner.The man managed to block Boothman and at one point reached out to push him away, when Boothman responded by pushing him and knocking his glasses from his face.
Speaking after the sentencing, PC Andy Webb from British Transport Police said: "This was a truly frightening encounter for the victim and his partner made all the worse by the fact they were targeted because of their disability.
