Meet the hero who thumped robber after woman, 86, knocked to ground.

QUOTE:

"An unemployed labourer has admitted "lamping" a mugger after he saw him knock a pensioner to the ground in Hull city centre.

Danny Neilson, 27, from Boothferry Estate, was cycling along Ferensway, on his way back from McDonalds, when he saw the 86-year-old woman hit her head on the pavement as she was robbed.

He said hundreds of people stood by and watched but thought to himself "f**k that" as he saw the mugger run off, and threw his bike to the ground and ran over.

Mr Neilson, who says he has a "heart of gold", has admitted his involvement after seeing a news report on Hull Live which revealed the mugger, David Loftey, has now been jailed for three years and four months for his attack."
