Teen Jailed for 3 Years Over Filmed 'Brutal' Nottingham Street Robbery

The judge condemned the recorded group assault for extreme violence over a trivial haul.

Overview

  • Daniel Faulkner, 18, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Crown Court and was sent to a young offender institution for three years.
  • The victim was attacked around 2am near King Street and Friar Lane as he walked to his bus stop after a night out.
  • CCTV and footage on Faulkner’s phone showed the group punching, kicking and stamping on the man as he lay defenceless.
  • Prosecutors said a silver chain and about £20 were stolen and the victim suffered broken ribs, concussion and head bruising, requiring two weeks off work.
  • Two under‑18 co‑defendants were previously given 12‑month detention and training orders with their identities protected, while Faulkner—who has prior convictions—was detained nearby after the attack.
