(BBC) An asylum seeker who launched a sex attack on a woman has been jailed for more than three years.
Fawaz Alsamaou, 33, from Lockwood, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, strangled and sexually assaulted her under a bridge in Cathays, Cardiff.
She was walking home from a night out in the city centre in the early hours of 12 May last year when she noticed the 33-year-old following her.
Alsamaou, originally from Syria, admitted sexual assault and strangulation, and the judge at Newport Crown Court said it was a “horrible attack” and warned him it was “highly likely” he would be deported at the end of his sentence.
