A man who punched a teenage girl and a female student, leaving them unconscious on the ground, has been jailed for four years.<\/p>\n

Michael Ayoade, 35, was caught on CCTV staging the random attacks in Plaistow, east London.<\/p>\n

In the second attack on November 13 last year, he jogged up behind a 16-year-old girl in the High Street and punched her in the head. The teenager fell to the ground, breaking three of her teeth.<\/p>\n

A year earlier, Ayoade punched a university student in the side of the head at Plaistow tube station. His victim, Daniella Montieth, was taken to hospital with a broken tooth.<\/p>\n

Passing sentence at Inner London Crown Court, Judge Roger Chapple said Ayoade, of Greengate Street, Plaistow, had launched “vicious, unprovoked attacks on young, lone females”.<\/p>\n

He said:\u00a0“These images are\u00a0indeed worth many thousands of words. The footage captures graphically the\u00a0shocking violence of these attacks.<\/p>\n

“In both cases there was but one blow. In the case of (the 16-year-old) it can\u00a0plainly be seen from the CCTV footage that the force behind the blow was\u00a0massive.<\/p>\n

“The ferocity of the blow that you struck to her after running up behind her\u00a0with full force was truly shocking.<\/p>\n

“In both cases the force of the blow was such as to render the victims\u00a0unconscious albeit mercifully not for long.”<\/p>\n

Ayode, who is originally from Nigeria, followed the teenager for 800m before attacking her.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Joel Smith told the court Ayoade said she had “looked at him in a rude way” and that he could not go through the rest of the day having taken “an insult from a little person like that”.<\/p>\n

Ayode, who was arrested shortly after the attack, admitted two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm and one of possessing cannabis after a bag of the drug was found at his home.<\/p>\n

Defending, Gillian Frost said Ayoade, who had smoked three or four cannabis joints and drunk a cup of vodka before attacking the teenager, had not wanted to cause more serious harm to either woman.<\/p>\n

He was jailed for four years for the attack on the teenager and 19 months for punching the student, although the two sentences will run concurrently.<\/p>\n

There was no separate penalty for the cannabis charge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
