Shocking footage shows man attacking sleeping homeless person

THIS is the moment a “sadistic” decorator attacked a helpless, one-legged man with a rolling pin while he slept in his sleeping bag.

John Allen brandished the weapon and two knives as he carried out an eight minute attack on Ian White, a disabled man living rough on the streets of Southampton.

Mr White and two other men were subjected to “sustained” abuse as they tried to sleep in Eastgate Street Car Park in Southampton in the early hours of March 25.

For his attack, Allen, 33, was sentenced to 27 months imprisonment at Southampton Crown Court.
