A violent thug who robbed a man as he walked through Manchester city centre after a night out has been jailed. Ahmed Elgamodi, 28, attacked the victim, who was visiting the city from Hong Kong, as he returned to his hotel at about 11.20pm on July 12 of last year.
The man, who was in his 30s, had been out enjoying a few drinks when Elgamodi approached him in Back George Street and offered him some cannabis.

The victim was left with a minor swelling to his head. Less than two hours later, police arrested Elgamodi as he rode a pedal bike through the city centre.
