Robber of 92-year-old for 5 pounds pleads guilty

A British man today admitted carrying out a "callous and sickening" robbery, knocking down a 92- year-old pensioner for just five pounds.
Stanley Evans' case made headlines after he was followed into a communal area of a block of flats in London's Soho and attacked by 29-year-old Soloman Bygraves.
Evans remained on the ground in the entrance to the flats in Soho, central London, for five minutes. He eventually managed to get to his feet and take the lift to his flat to call 999.
The pensioner suffered a shoulder injury in the incident on January 31.
Police had described the incident as a "callous and sickening" robbery while releasing CCTV footage of the attack.

Bygraves pleaded guilty at London's Southwark crown court via videolink from Wandsworth prison. He spoke only to confirm his name and plead guilty, The Guardian reported.

Evans said he felt he had been regarded as an "easy touch".
"I wasn't scared, no. If I was fitter I would have gone out after him," he told ITV News.
Defence lawyer, John Causer said Bygraves had a lengthy criminal record, including three convictions for robbery.
Judge Alistair McCreath remanded Bygraves in custody to be sentenced on April 13.
