Sussex Police said Doe struck the woman in the face after a verbal dispute, knocking her unconscious, although thankfully she did not sustain any lasting injury.

PC Jen Black said: “In sentencing Doe the court took into account the vicious and cowardly nature of the attack, the fact that young children were present, and his record of previous violent offences.”
