A man has pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated bodily harm and two counts of criminal damage after horror footage showed a crazed attacker trying to get to young woman.
The woman was on FaceTime with a pal when she was randomly attacked by Gulwali Stanezay on February 26. Fearing for her life, she ran into a stranger's home to safety.
The friend managed to contact the woman's father who then went out looking for her. He came across a man, now known to be 22-year-old Stanezay, vandalising cars. When the father approached him, Stanezay started punching him.

Stanezay also tried to smash his way into the house where the woman had been sheltering, breaking the glass on the front door with a metal bike lock., the Mirror reports.
Footage from two CCTV cameras shows the full fury of Stanezay’s attack.
After failing to kick the door down, Stanezay appears to walk off before returning to the doorstep. He then catches sight of one of the cameras and tries to rip it off the wall. When that doesn't work, he picks up a D-lock and uses it to hammer the camera off.
During this time, the householder was on the phone to 999 begging them to come as he tried to smash the front door with the same lock, but said she was unable to get a timescale for when police could attend.
She told the Mirror earlier this year: "They kept saying they cannot give me an estimated time of arrival due to an event at Wembley," with the football also blamed by officers who ultimately did arrive on scene after the man outside had gone.

The householder told how the attacker left them terrified as he launched his bid to smash in the property, saying: "Out of the blue suddenly he just starts on the door.
"I didn't know what he had on him and at the time it was D-lock from a bicycle but all I could was a small circle and I thought it was a bullet. At this point, I told the handler on the phone it could be a gun".
The woman added: "He was relentless and you can see the glass shattering.
"My partner was in the hallway just watching the barrier between him and the man crumble. The man gets his hand through the door and tries to under to lock but is unable to and then reverts to kicking the door again."

In the CCTV footage, Stanezay uses the lock to batter the front door, smashing the glass. All three in the home were terrified and barricaded the door with a sofa bed while they waited for the police to come.
Thankfully, Stanezay failed to unlock the door to come in. He then made off, before police arrived at the scene and officers were unable to find him that night.
In the footage shared with the Mirror, a police officer can be heard telling the householder: "We did our best to find him and we chased after him….and we couldn't find him."
The woman replies, explaining how long she was on the phone with the police. The cop then says: "I appreciate that but we're very busy because it's football".

Nearby Wembley Stadium had been hosting the Carabao Cup final between Manchester United and Newcastle United on the evening of the attack.
Stanezay was arrested on March 1, three days after police were called to reports of two people assaulted and vehicles damaged at the location.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and two counts of criminal damage on May 22 at Harrow Crown Court. He was remanded ahead of sentencing on July 6.
