. Not enter John Lewis in Downing Street.
Mulryan was given a 15 month sentence on November 20 after pleading guilty to assault by beating of a staff worker at Coral.
PC Hannah Flemington said: “Mulryan is a prolific beggar in Cambridge. His street presence has been unpleasant and intimidating for people to experience and causes a significant impact upon the city centre.
“We hope the CBO will make the city centre a more pleasant place to be.”
Anyone who witnesses Mulryan breaching these conditions should call police on 101.
