A man has been given a prison sentence after attacking NHS staff and damaging property worth £3,015.

Kiel St Cyr assaulted a trainee nurse and a support worker on May 15 and 31 in Abbots Langley, after previously damaging a door, curtain, and curtain rail belonging to the NHS in the village in 2022.

The 28-year-old, of Woodside Road, Abbots Langley, was sentenced to four weeks in prison, concurrent to an existing sentence, by St Albans Magistrates’ Court on Monday (September 4) after admitting to four separate offences.

He was also found guilty of two charges of assault by beating of an emergency worker and two charges of criminal damage to property valued under £5,000.

No compensation or costs were ordered for the damage, due to St Cyr's limited means, but he will have to pay the staff £100 each in compensation.

Both of the NHS staff members were working when he assaulted them.

The defendant was ordered to pay the £200 total £5 a week from April 1 of next year.
