A YOUNG nursing assistant at Bethlem Royal Hospital was groped by a colleague at work.

Samir Zerroug approached the woman, who cannot be named, in the office at the hospital in Monks Orchard Road, Beckenham.

When she stood up to leave, Zerroug, aged 30, touched her buttocks saying: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” The catering assistant, who has been out of work since the incident, admitted indecent assault at Croydon Crown Court.

Zerroug, of Ritter Street, Woolwich, got a two-year community rehabilitation order.
