Sent to crown court for jaw-break robbery
A MAN accused of attacking and robbing someone after a night out in South Tyneside will be dealt with at crown court.
Thomas Murray is said to have repeatedly punched his 25-year-old victim in the face, breaking his jaw and nose, while demanding he hand over money.
The 21-year-old was arrested in the early hours of Saturday after police were called to help the other man, who was found bloodied in South Shields town centre.
Murray was at South Tyneside Magistrates’ Court yesterday facing a charge of robbery.
The charge is so serious it can only be dealt with at Newcastle Crown Court.
Murray, of Coverdale Avenue, Washington, will appear in Newcastle on March 5.
He was denied bail and remanded in custody until then.
