A 'bully' who attacked a man in his home with hair clippers before stealing his mobile phone has been jailed. Greater Manchester Police says Mark Spencer would 'prey on the most vulnerable'.
The 47-year-old, of no fixed address, targeted his victim at a flat in Hulme. Manchester Crown Court heard how Spencer was inside the property in February this year before striking.
Spencer pinned the man down and attacked him with the hair clippers, injuring his head. He went on to steal the victim's phone.
