A FORMER Premier League's star son has been jailed after punching a retired female cop 33 times in a savage attack at a hospital. Joni Hartson - son of Arsenal, Celtic and Wales player-turned-pundit John Hartson - lured fellow patient Dawn Lloyd, 67, into a garden. Hartson also attacked a healthcare worker days later by punching his arm when he was moved to a hospital in Carmarthen. John Hartson began his career at Luton in 1992 before joining Arsenal three years later for £2.5million - a record for a teen player at the time. 6 Hartson has been jailed for two years Credit: WNS6 John Hartson previously gushed about his son when he played for Swansea's academy team6 John played for Arsenal Credit: Getty
