A male has been jailed after admitting to beating a nurse unconscious as she worked in an accident and emergency department.

Prince Isaac Walker, 32, of no fixed address, was charged on Thursday, 21 January with assault on an emergency worker. 

He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 22 January where he entered a guilty plea.

The judge sentenced him to 26 weeks imprisonment.

The court heard how officers were in attendance at the Homerton Hospital in east London when they were made aware that a nurse had been assaulted in the A&E department.

The officers rushed to the scene and found the seriously injured nurse with the suspect still nearby. 

Prince Isaac Walker was taken to an east London police station and was charged later that day.

The 36-year-old female nurse lost consciousness following the assault and required treatment. She is now at home, recovery from the attack.

PC Kyri Soupashis, the investigating officer, said: 

“This was a needlessly vicious attack on an emergency worker simply doing her job. 

“I hope that the sentence handed down brings the victim a measure of satisfaction and that she is able to recover from what was a very frightening experience.

“There is no justification for assaulting the people who devote their working lives to helping and protecting others, something that Walker will have time to reflect on as he serves his sentence.”

    Another useless sentence, where is the deterrent in this. This is a holiday for this waste of space. Anyone who attacks N.H.S should get 5 years and a good bashing in prison

    Has anyone asked the nurse if she is happy with the 26 week sentence, I very much doubt she will be

      She will probably take years to get over it, if she ever completely does.

    Any assault on a member of the emergency services should result in an immediate SUBSTANTIAL sentence of imprisonment. There can be no excuse for such conduct.

    26 weeks, out it in 13 or less. This guy attacked an emergency worker. That that worker was female makes it worse because as a general rule, females tend not to be stronger than males. That he battered her so badly she lost consciousness is even worse. Yet despite this appalling behaviour, he will end up incarcerated for three months.

    He should have been locked up for at least 5 years and served every single days behind bars. At least other people would have been safe from a dangerous, violent individual for that time. If he came out and did it again, in he goes for a minimum double time, 10 years. The judge is free to give him more. If he comes out and does it again, in he goes for 20 years. So, after three similar convictions, he would be 67 before he was released again.

    If he knew what would happen to him if caught, unless he is a complete idiot, which cannot be discounted, he would think very carefully before he considered thumping someone. Now, he might well not get caught and statistically, this is likely. But if he did, he would be put away for a very long tine indeed.

    The bottom line is that it is his choice how he lives his life. If he fancies spending 35 years no an exercise bike powering the national grid, that is his choice. The time is long overdue for people to take responsibility for their actions unless he is mentally ill, in which case he will end up in a secure mental facility.

    Either way, the public is protected from such vermin.

    What is wrong with the courts? Attack a emergency worker and you must be jailed for at least 5 years.
    I imagine his victim is outraged, I would be.

    That paltry sentence is NOT A DETERRENT. Out in 3 months to carry on as before whilst that nurse will take years to deal with it, if she ever can. The judiciary is not fit for purpose here as is so often the case these days.
