A drunken thug battered an innocent woman in an unprovoked street attack that led to her having several teeth removed.
Declan Connerton followed his victim and her friends after they got off a bus. He hurled abuse at them then punched his victim to the ground and kicked her up to five times, knocking her unconscious.
Connerton’s attack unfolded in the early hours of July 4 as a group of women travelled home on the 10A bus from Liverpool to St Helens. After they got off on Warrington Road, Whiston, a fellow passenger did the same and told them he was worried for their safety because of Connerton’s behaviour.
