Stephen Williams, 42, of The Gateway, Dover denied committing the offence but was found guilty and was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court on 18 January 2017. His co-defendant Troy Smith had already been jailed on 22 December, 2016, for two years and eight months.
 
On 4 July, 2016, the victim was waiting for a bus in Pencester Gardens when he was approached by Williams and Smith who demanded money and assaulted him.
 
The victim managed to seek help from a nearby shop where staff came to his assistance and the incident was reported to police.
 
Investigating officer, PC Pete Leeming said: "These two acted in a deplorable manner and tried to take advantage of someone they thought was weaker than them. Williams can now join Smith in prison and reflect on their behaviour."
