A beggar known as Britain’s angriest after attacking several people who refused to hand over money has been jailed.

Jason Allum, 36, was given a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) on March 2 preventing him from begging in Cambridge City Centre.

But within hours he was again seen asking for money and was handed a 28-day suspended sentence by Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on March 13 for the breach.

Between March 13 and 31, he breached the CBO a further 20 times by asking people for money, including placing his hands on people, approaching women and children and shouting and swearing.

Earlier this month at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court, Allum, was sentenced to seven months in prison, having pleaded guilty to 20 breaches of the interim CBO.

PC Laura O’Flynn said: “Jason Allum has caused significant issues for a great number of people across the city and we worked really hard with the Crown Prosecution Service to get this CBO.
