Officers painstakingly scoured CCTV footage, spotting a man in Silcott’s clothing stepping from a nearby car. They followed the vehicle’s trail and quickly identified 26-year-old Silcott from Simmons Drive, Dagenham.
He was arrested on 21 May in Ilford and charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Silcott denied the attack but was convicted after trial at Maidstone Crown Court, where he was sentenced on 18 February.
