Warning No Survey Found For 11 Year Old Girls With Option Removed

A man has been jailed for 14 months after he brutalized an 11-year-old girl as she walked to school in east London.

Siddique Ali, 43, was identified after a public appeal from detectives but a Scotland Yard spokesman admitted his body had not yet been found.

An 11-year-old girl was attacked while walking along Ben Jonson Road, Stepney Green at around 8:30 am on September 28.

When she and Ali crossed the street, one rushed at her and bit her several times on the hand and arm.

A passing taxi driver freed the girl from her grasp and Ali left the area before the police arrived.

The girl was taken to the hospital, where she was kept for several days to receive treatment.

The police issued a public appeal and 12 days later, on December 22, Ali was arrested at his home.

He was subsequently charged with being in control of a dangerously out of control dog.

Detective Inspector Luke Hampton of the Met’s Central East Command said: “Ali had no control over the animal that attacked the child and even left the scene knowing that she had been seriously injured.

“I hope that today’s sentence brings the child and her family a measure of comfort following what has been a deeply traumatic incident.”

Ali, of Ackroyd Drive, Tower Hamlets, appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday May 12 where he was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment for being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury to a person contrary to Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act.

He was also banned from keeping a dog for 10 years and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £187.
