Nigerian sex predator who ran off after a victim stabbed him, sentenced to 5 years in jail

Pharmacy student Joshua Okugbeni, 21, ran off with his trousers down when his victim stabbed him in the neck with her keys. He had grabbed the woman, in her 40s, from behind as she walked to work, putting a hand over her mouth, an arm around her stomach and dragging her towards a wall.



He asked her for a kiss and pulled his own trousers down, so the brave woman, fearing she was about to be raped, took out her keys and stabbed him in the neck. The startled Okugbeni, who was left with a puncture wound, ran off with his trousers still down.

Newcastle Crown Court heard Okugbeni had already left another woman, in her 30s, petrified minutes earlier after following her off the Metro, stalking her through the streets and grabbing her with his hand over her mouth. He was jailed for five years and four months after admitting to assault with intent to commit a sexual offence and common assault.
