Man Arrested After Pensioner Attacked For £5

A man has been arrested on suspicion of robbery after 93-year-old Stanley Evans was knocked over by an attacker who fled with just £5.

The pensioner, who was 92 when the incident happened last month, was followed through the door at the block of flats in Soho, central London and attacked in a communal entrance area.

He lay on the floor for around five minutes before managing to take a lift up to his home before calling police.
The crime, which was captured on CCTV, was described by officers as an "unprovoked, callous and sickening assault on a defenceless pensioner".

A 29-year-old man was arrested in Camberwell in south London on Monday night.
The widower was left with a shoulder injury but did not need hospital treatment, but police say he has been left "living in fear of his safety".
