A man who stole a woman』s phone and car keys as she lay on the ground having a seizure has been jailed.

一名女子因癲癇發作躺在地上時，一名男子趁機偷走了她的手機和車鑰匙，該男子目前已被判入獄。

Noel Steadman, who is homeless, was sentenced on Thursday to 22 months in prison after pleading guilty to theft at Manchester Crown Court.

流浪漢諾埃爾·斯蒂德曼在曼徹斯特刑事法庭認罪後，於周四被判入獄22個月。

In the early hours of 21 March 2019, Steadman and an unidentified man rushed over to a 39-year-old woman, Leonora Royce, who was suffering a seizure in Manchester city centre.

2019年3月21日凌晨，39歲女子萊奧諾拉·羅伊斯在曼徹斯特市中心癲癇發作，斯蒂德曼和一名身份不明的男子匆匆跑向她。

The court heard how Steadman began rooting through the woman』s pockets, stealing her iPhone 6 Plus, as she struggled on the ground.

法庭獲悉，斯蒂德曼開始在這名女子的口袋裡翻找，偷走了她的iPhone 6 Plus，當時她正在地上掙扎。

The two men fled after they were disturbed by a passer-by and spotted an ambulance arriving at the scene, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

大曼徹斯特警方稱，兩名男子在發現有路人以及救護車抵達現場的聲音後逃跑。

CCTV operators alerted police after seeing the pair crouching over Ms Royce before they attempted to unlock her car.

閉路監控操作員看到這兩個人蹲在羅伊斯女士身前，之後試圖打開她的車，於是趕緊報警。

Steadman was also given a four month prison sentence for vehicle interference, which will run concurrently with his sentence for theft.

除了因盜竊被判入獄之外，斯蒂德曼還因闖入車內被判4個月監禁。

Police have not been able to trace the second man.

警方還沒有找到另一名男子。

At the sentencing, Judge David Hernandez told Steadman: 「Right thinking people will be disgusted by what you did, because instead of helping her you went out of your way to see what you could get.

在宣判時，法官大衛·赫爾南德斯告訴斯蒂德曼：「正常的人都會覺得，你所做的事令人噁心，因為你非但沒幫她，還想盡辦法看你能從中得到什麼。」

"It was clearly and blatantly dishonest, aggravated by the fact that woman was lying in the street, clearly needing help. She was vulnerable.

「這顯然是極不誠實的，因為一名女性躺在街上，顯然需要幫助。她正在生病。」

"You didn"t help her, you stole from her; a despicable act."

「你沒有幫她，你偷了她的東西；簡直卑劣。」

In March, Ms Royce said she would not let the incident stop her from working in the city centre.

今年3月，羅伊斯女士表示，這起事件不會阻止她在市中心工作。

"I won"t let it change my daily life," she said. "I"m not going to let it define me. I"m still going to work in the city."

「我不會讓它改變我的日常生活，」她說，「我不會讓它左右我。我還打算在市裡工作。」

Her husband, Jordan, told the BBC that the men descended on her 「like the walking dead」.

她的丈夫喬丹告訴BBC，這兩名男人突然奔向她，「像行屍走肉一樣」。

"They literally clambered at her and clawed at her taking all her possessions while she was laid on the floor... at her most vulnerable. And then they even went into her car and tried to rob stuff from that as well,」 he added.

「當她躺在地上時，他們簡直是爬在她身上，抓著她拿她所有的東西……在她最脆弱的時候。之後他們甚至進了她的車，試圖從她的車裡搶東西。」

「When someone is [having a seizure] even intervening can cause damage. It is an absolute disgrace."

「當某人癲癇發作時，即使是干預他也可能造成損害。這絕對是讓人感到恥辱的事。」
