A man who assaulted a woman in a clothes shop has been handed a community order.

Mohammed Bashrat, of West Street, Banbury, admitted carrying out the crime in H&M at the Castle Quay Shopping Centre, in Banbury.

Oxford Crown Court heard on Friday that the 35-year-old, who has previous convictions for causing grievous bodily harm and robbery, grabbed a female shopper in the store on December 19 last year.

In addition to the 12-month community order he was ordered to pay £250 costs.
