Teenage girl charged with assault on elderly Sikh man in Coventry city centre

Coral Millerchip, from Attoxhall Road in Wyken, has been charged with one count of assault and has been remanded in custody, West Midlands Police said

A woman will appear in court tomorrow after she was charged with assaulting an 80-year-old man in an attack filmed in Coventry city centre.

Coral Millerchip, from Attoxhall Road in Wyken, has been charged with one count of assault and has been remanded in custody.

The unemployed 19-year-old is due to appear at Coventry Magistrates Court on Monday.

Millerchip was arrested from an address outside of the West Midlands yesterday after police received reports that an 80-year-old man had been attacked in the city centre last Saturday (August 10).

The 19-year-old was arrested on Friday after police traced her to an address in Gloucester.

She was taken to a West Midlands Police station where she will be questioned about the attack in Trinity Street, Coventry, on Saturday evening (August 10) when the elderly victim was punched in the face and shoved to the ground leaving him with a bloodied nose and black eye.

A video of the assault, recorded by a passer-by on their mobile phone, was widely circulated on social media after the story appeared on the Telegraph’s website and was met with a wave of revulsion from viewers.

The attack, which appears unprovoked, happened at around 8.30pm on Saturday evening near Sainsbury’s in Coventry’s Trinity Street.

Police are still keen to hear from people who witnessed the incident, or the build up to the attack, and have urged anyone who shared the video or still images of the assault to remove them from social media accounts as they could hinder the enquiry.

Anyone with information should contact West Midlands Police on the 101 number or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Unemployed 19yr old, eh? So we taxpayers are maintaining scum like this.

What a world!

[DanaC]

We taxpayers are maintaining far more decent people than we are people like her.

This girl is not representative of the unemployed, any more than she is representative of her generation.

Also: Jobseekers Allowance is taxed. So the unemployed are also paying to maintain this girl. And she herself is paying tax.

Jobseekers Allowance is way below the tax threshold. Do get your facts right! There is no way this detritus of society is paying tax.

[The most common benefits that you pay Income Tax on are:

the State Pension
Jobseeker’s Allowance
Carer’s Allowance
Employment and Support Allowance (contribution based)
Incapacity Benefit (from the 29th week you get it)
Bereavement Allowance
Pensions paid by the Industrial Death Benefit scheme
Widowed Parent’s Allowance
Widow’s pension

Admittedly as a youngster on the lowest rate she probably doesn't hit the threshold. But she is paying NI contributions

If someone claims benefit for six months then gets a job and works for six months the JSA they received in that first six months would count as taxable income just as it would had they been in a low paying job.

[CaudleHalbard]

I did not say JSA is not taxable. I said it is way below the tax threshold - currently Ł9440 a year or Ł181.54 a week.

Unless scumgirl's JSA is more than Ł181.54 a week she will not pay tax. Hope that clears things up for you.

Ahhh. Yes it does. But the distinction between 'taxpayers' and 'the unemployed' is an unfair one. They're still 'tax payers'; they just don't earn enough to pay tax:-p

We don't generally, as a society, distinguish between 'taxpayers' (used as a kind of synonym for 'citizen' and the low paid. Someone working a 35 hour week and earning Ł9k per annum is still included in the cultural designation of 'taxpayer'.

she doesn't pay tax and shes a scum bag. lock her up.

[DanaC]

She is scum, yes. She deserves to be punished, yes. Though, if people have a problem with their tax money paying to support people like her then it's worth noting that prison costs a hell of a lot more than unemployment benefits.

My point, rather clumsily made I admit, is that this statement: 'So we taxpayers are maintaining scum like this'. Draws on a false divide. Most people on benefits aren't like her, they're like 'us'. In fact, they are us. They're our relatives and friends, and occasionally ourselves. Most people on the dole are there temporarily. Either side of that claim they are tax payers. Do they stop being 'them' and start being 'us'? When someone loses a job they've worked in for ten years are they no longer 'us', have they become 'them'?

'We taxpayers' are not supporting 'scum like her'. That suggests a whole class of people just like her. It suggests that she is somehow representative of those on unemployment benefits. She is not. She is an aberration.

Had she been seventeen and still in receipt of child benefits nobody would have made this statement: 'So we taxpayers are maintaining scum like this.'

Likewise had she been in low paid work topped up by tax credits. Nor indeed, had she been in university with her course heavily subsidized by the public purse.

Her status as unemployed is irrelevant. We are not supporting 'people like her'. 'We taxpayers' are supporting people like me and you.

I lose a lot of people. It's the scene in dumber where he's trying to say how he feels about Mary Swanson. He wants to say she makes him feel like a schoolboy and he desperately wants to make love to her, but he gets his words mixed up and that sentence comes flying out of his mouth instead.

Take it as praise and move on. It doesn't happen very often!

When you write something decent you might receive similar praise. Who am I kidding? You? Write something decent?

*laughs* ahhhh. I see now.

Thankyou

ok....ya lost me there Jesus...?

[Bruteic]

This is absolutely ridiculous.
They should be locked up for a minimum of 5 years, both of them.

To beat someone up is one thing, to spit in someones face is another, but god help me, to beat up an elderly person and then film it? Absolute disgrace.
