A man has been jailed for assaulting a woman at Bangor railway station.

Roland Doano was sentenced to eight weeks in prison after pleading guilty to the attack on Monday.

Caernarfon magistrates heard Doano (44) of no fixed abode, approached a woman on the platform and sat down next to her.

He then put his arm around her before she managed to get away, but Doano followed her to the overbridge and blocked her exit.

British Transport Police arrested Doano at the scene after they were alerted by a member of station staff.

He was remanded in custody until he appeared in court the following day and pleaded guilty.

PC Jack Payton from British Transport Police said: “This woman going about her life, minding her own business when Doano approached her and acted in an intimidating and threatening manner."

"The swift action by officers and rail staff, resulted in his swift arrest and subsequent sentence."
