A north London man has been handed a suspended sentence for carrying out a mugging and then trying to get his victim to drop the charges.

Yacov Izraelov robbed Samuel Brown when he encountered him in the street, stealing a mobile phone and a jacket.

When Mr Brown went to the police, Izraelov called a mutual acquaintance and urged him to get Mr Brown to drop the charges.

Izraelov, 20, from Finchley, who had been found guilty of robbery and perverting the course of justice, was handed a 18-month sentence suspended for two years.
He was also ordered to pay £500 in compensation to Mr Brown, by January 1 2016.
