Community Order After Unprovoked Assault At Finsbury Park
A woman from Edmonton who assaulted a fellow passenger at Finsbury Park Tube station has been given a 12 month community order following a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation.
Maureen Daley (48), of Brierly Avenue, was sentenced at City of London Magistrates’ Court on Friday 2 July after earlier pleading guilty to common assault. She was also ordered to do 60 hours unpaid work, pay her victim £100 compensation and pay £175 court costs.
Daley became involved in an argument with a 28-year-old woman as they walked between the Piccadilly and Victoria line platforms just before 9am on Thursday 3 December.
Daley pushed her in the face and grabbed her hair causing scratches to her face and neck before BTP officers attended and separated the pair.
BTP PC Matthew Shepherd, investigating, said: “Daley’s actions were completely unacceptable and I hope the victim feels that justice has been served.
“Although violent behaviour such as this is uncommon on the Tube I hope this sentence sends out a clear message that it will not be tolerated when it does occur.”

Yeah I'm sorry about that Stan but if you read over more carefully the voice of reason is in there somewhere. We're not usually so unreservedly daily mail.

Anette's right. Why should our Public Transport tolerate this sort of low life? Forget the custodial sentence - string her up.

I completely agree, the fine was way too low, but ultimately a conviction was made so some justice was done. No, people cannot behave in such a disgusting manor and I do think a short spell in prison may be necessary!! On the flip side of this the prisons are over crowded as it is so we are told, its a double edged sword. Let's just hope this despicable woman has learnt her lesson and it is a warning to others!!
