A TV presenter who was robbed, spat on and racially assaulted says ‘tougher sentences’ are needed after his attacker avoided jail.
Noel Phillips, who works as ITV ’s US Correspondent for Good Morning Britain, says he was repeatedly called the N-word by a 17-year-old who snatched his necklace and spat in his face.
The juvenile, who was arrested after being chased by Noel on a busy street in London, appeared before magistrates where the judge handed down a rehabilitation order, a curfew and £100 compensation.
