A homeless Wigan shoplifter who attacked two people has been sent to prison.
Arthur McLean, 53, of no fixed address and no stranger to a cell, appeared before Manchester justices to plead guilty to stealing razor blades and a bottle of Prosecco from Wigan Asda on February 28 and to assaulting Angela Williamson and Daniel Abram by beating on the same day.
He was imprisoned for a total of 35 weeks, the bench telling him that these were "unprovoked and serious attacks."
