A man who beat a teenage boy into unconsciousness and held another teenage girl down whilst on a train has been jailed for 10 months.<\/p>\n

William Loosley, 39, of Usk Way in Newport, was travelling on a train from Bristol towards Newport when he assaulted<\/a> two teenagers.<\/p>\n

Loosley pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and was sentenced to 10 months in jail at Newport Magistrates’ Court on April 10.<\/p>\n

Jasmine Brine, 31, of Two Locks in Cwmbran, was travelling with Loosley and pleaded guilty to one count of assault.<\/p>\n

Brine was given a community order for 12 months, 100 hours of unpaid community work, a 90-day abstinence order and ordered to pay \u00a3364 in court and victim costs.<\/p>\n

The court heard that at around 11pm on April 1, 2024, the two teenage victims were with their friends travelling from Bristol to Newport after a night out.<\/p>\n

Loosley and Brinn were sat a few rows behind the group of teenagers and were seen on CCTV listening to what the group were saying.<\/p>\n

Brine accused the group of throwing cans of beer around, though none were seen on train CCTV footage.<\/p>\n

Brine began to shout at the group, throwing her lipstick at them.<\/p>\n

As Brine walked away, one in the group threw the lipstick back and Brine in response turned around and grabbed the head of the teenage girl.<\/p>\n

The teenage boy intervened, attempting to separate Brine and the teenage girl.<\/p>\n

Loosley then walked over at pace, holding the teenage girl down while punching the teenage boy who briefly lost consciousness.<\/p>\n

Loosley and Brine eventually walked away from the group but continued to verbally abuse and shout at them until the train arrived at Newport where they both left the service.<\/p>\n

The incident was reported to the British Transport Police<\/a> and urgent enquiries were carried out.<\/p>\n

Both Loosely and Brine were arrested the following day on suspicion of assault.<\/p>\n

Investigating officer DC Liam Perry said: \u201cViolent, threatening, or abusive behaviour will not be tolerated on the railway network.<\/p>\n

“Every person has the right to travel in safety and comfort, and no one should be subjected to such awful alarming and distressing behaviour as the victims did.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a vile and unprovoked attack by two adults on teenagers half their age out with their friends, and the injuries sustained could have been significantly worse.<\/p>\n

“I hope a stint in prison provides Loosley the opportunity to reflect on his actions and the consequences of them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 39-year-old man was jailed for 10 months alongside a 31-year-old womanWilliam Loosley, 39 and of Usk Way,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,1221,188,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-48890","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-british-transport-police","11":"tag-crime","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114397647018560605","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
