He was also found guilty of damaging an iPhone and a glass belonging to the victim and to causing £100 damage to a mirror belonging to her.

He was sentenced to six months in prison.

Magistrates said the reason for the sentence was that it involved a vulnerable victim, that there was a weapon involved and because of previous convictions.

He was ordered to pay £250 in compensation and £620 in prosecution costs. Magistrates also issued a restraining order.
