Woman propositio­ned and robbed OAP on Dundee street

-

A woman knocked out an OAP and robbed him after he declined her sexual advances.

Ashley O’neill also caused a bloodbath in her home in Dundee by repeatedly stabbing a friend with a vegetable peeler.

The 33-year-old was later caught wearing a balaclava and carrying a knife on a city street.

O’neill admitted all the offences at Dundee Sheriff Court yesterday.

On September 19, a 69-yearold was walking on Hoylake Place when he saw O’neill, who was a stranger, approachin­g.

She repeatedly put her hand in his pocket where his wallet was and asked him if he wanted her to perform a sex act on him.

The pensioner pushed O’neill’s hand away and swore at her and she shoved him.

Depute fiscal Charmaine Gilmartin said: “He fell and struck his head on the pavement, rendering him unconsciou­s. Passersby found him slumped on the pavement, injured.

“His pockets were empty

– his wallet, mobile phone, bank cards and cigarettes were missing.”

He had facial injuries. Police found O’neill at home, smoking Mr Valentine’s cigarettes.

She was on bail at the time, having launched a savage attack on a friend a year earlier in which she stabbed her on the legs and body with the peeler.

Police found the scene covered in blood and Ms Brannon was rushed to hospital to treat her injuries, which have left permanent scarring.

On November 29, she was found in St Columba Gardens wearing a hood and balaclava.

A woman with whom she had had previous “tensions” called the police after seeing O’neill take out a knife.

Sentencing was deferred.
