New Street Station Attackers Receive Suspended Sentences After Man Pushed Onto Live Tracks

The court opted for suspended sentences with intensive oversight, citing strong prospects for rehabilitation.

Overview

  • Morgan Cox and Ellouise Parker, both 23, admitted two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm for an April 11, 2025 attack at Birmingham New Street.
  • They drank a woman’s beverage, then punched and kicked her, breaking her teeth, and pushed her partner onto a live railway line before staff intervened.
  • District Judge Michelle Smith called it among the most serious ABH cases her court can handle and weighed committing it to the Crown Court before retaining sentencing.
  • Each defendant received 12 months’ imprisonment suspended for 18 months, 25 days of rehabilitation activity, drug testing, an Intensive Supervision Court programme, and £100 compensation to each victim.
  • Victim statements detailed lasting anxiety and dental complications, while the defence said the women are in education, have curbed drinking, and entered early guilty pleas with no prior convictions.
