Serial criminal committed his 212th offence
Shields Gazette
|October 21, 2025
A South Tyneside serial offender committed his 212th criminal offence when he hit a stranger with a bag he had thrown in anger in a hospital.
The case was heard at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court.
Steven Smith, 42, struck a fellow patient after rowing with his pregnant girlfriend in the A&E department at South Tyneside District Hospital, a court heard.
He caused no direct injury but left his victim in pain due to her exacerbating a back problem when she twisted her head to see what had happened.
CCTV of the incident on Friday, June 20, showed Smith, of Roman Road, Lawe Top, South Shields, committing the unintended assault.
