Man charged with robbing student in London riots

A man has been charged with robbing a Malaysian student whose ordeal was caught on camera.

Ashraf Rossli, 20, was rushed to hospital with a broken jaw on Monday after being set upon during London’s riots less than a month after arriving in Britain.

Today, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said Reece Donovan, of Milton Court, Cross Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex, had been charged with robbing the student.

Donovan, who police said is either 21 or 23 years old, will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
