N evil mugger who battered a Birmingham old soldier and fled with just £40 has been jailed for nine years. Frail Bill Hopkins, 79, suffered a broken jaw in the cowardly attack outside his home last November.

He ran off with the OAP's wallet - which contained the cash, bank cards and a card from his late wife's memorial service.
