Woman Sentenced For Violent Attack

A Hertford woman has been sentenced after being found guilty of a violent attack on a train.

Samantha Vander, of Primrose Drive, repeatedly stamped on a man's head in her stilletoes, whilst two male accomplices kicked and punched the victim.

The attack took place in April on a train from Liverpool Stret to Hertford East, after Vander and her friends had been thrown out of a pub in London.

The 38 year-old victim had asked the drunken group to be quiet because they were swearing loudly and behaving in a disorderly fashion.

The attack ended only when fellow passengers intervened.

CCTV images recorded the attack and what appeared to be celebrations as the attackers high fived each other in the moments following.

Samantha Vander, together with Frederick Doe and Michael Tebbut, were each sentenced to four months imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. Each must also perform 300 hours of community service,  serve a 12 month probation order and observe a 4 month curfew between 8pm and 7am.
