A robber dragged a teenage girl through woodland as he stole her handbag before falling asleep in the dock once he was brought to court over the terrifying assault.
Drug-addled Harry Ford's brave victim followed him and began filming him on her mobile phone despite fearing that she had broken a bone during his terrifying attack. She continues to have nightmares about "seeing his eyes" nearly two years on.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday, Tuesday, that the 16-year-old was in a wooded area in Widnes known as Bowers Brook with a friend on August 25 2021 when she noticed the defendant watching her. The youngster became "increasingly uncomfortable" with Ford, of Russell Court, then snatching her bag from her - scratching her arm in the process - and running away.
