TWO women teamed up and dished out “thuggish” violence to a victim who was punched and kicked in a busy Whitehaven street.
Becky Watson, 32, and Cheryl Anne Parker, 40, were caught in the act as CCTV captured their broad daylight offending in front of stunned King Street shoppers at 2.40pm on January 27 last year.
Both women recalled Angel Paris Jordan yelling verbal abuse and throwing a bottle while Parker asked four times for the pair to be left alone.
But Watson and Parker then lost their temper, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
“As Miss Jordan starts to walk away from the two defendants, Becky Watson takes hold of her by the arm and then starts to punch her head from behind,” said Holly Nelson, prosecuting.
