A woman has been jailed for an attack on a teeanger in Oxford.

Simone Andrews, 23, of Iffley Road, was sentenced to four months imprisonment after pleading guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

This is in relation to an offence that happened in Pembroke Street on November 25, 2008, when Andrews followed and attacked an 18-year-old woman, causing bruising to her back after she pushed her over and continued to kick her while she was on the ground.

Det Con Iain Spencer said: “Andrews carried out an unprovoked attack on a woman, just before 4pm at a busy time of the day.

“I would like to thank members of the public who came forward to help with my investigation.

“Their help was invaluable and I would like to emphasise how important it is for witnesses to come forward and help us in our fight against crime and give people confidence to be safe in the city centre.”
