Pensioner battered brutally as she hands out gifts to the homeless

A pensioner was left with shocking injuries when she was assaulted while handing out gifts to the homeless.

Moira Norcliffe, 70, went to Huddersfield town centre on Monday to give out woolly hats, gloves, socks, currant teacakes, cheese and water to people living on the streets.

The Good Samaritan – who had paid for the presents out of her own money – was walking down Brook Street when a man walked up behind and aggressively shoved her to the ground.

He stood over her for a second before pulling his hood over his head and fleeing.
