A 'cowardly' criminal has been jailed for 16 months after robbing a deaf woman in her eighties on the Tube.
Liam McGuicken, 53, was caught on CCTV openly rifling through the victim's wallet seconds after he cornered her on the London Underground in central London.
He had followed his victim and shoved her by the chest into a handrail and snatched her purse.
McGuicken had specifically targeted the vulnerable woman on the escalators of Westminster station. She was with a friend who was also deaf.
It is yet another horrifying incident on the Tube, which is run by Sir Sadiq Khan's Transport for London (TfL). Since he became Mayor in 2016, Tube crime rates have more than doubled.
