Teenager jailed for knocking out girlfriend in 'brutal' attack in Yoker

A teenager who brutally stamped on his lover up to six times as she lay unconscious in the street was jailed today for two years.

Mitchell Rose, 18, pounced on Stephanie McLean after they had been at a party in Yoker, Glasgow last December.

Rose was annoyed that Stephanie - also 18 - had complained of feeling ill.

The thug's attack was so bad his shoe print was left on his victim's body.

Rose pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting the young mum to her severe injury and danger of life.

Sheriff Tony Kelly told Rose that there was no alternative to a custodial sentence due to the circumstances.

He added: “This incident was upsetting for Miss McLean who was shocked at the level of brutality towards her.

“You were involved in a totally horrific level of violence to a complainer who trusted you because you were in a relationship.

“The court can’t make any sense about what prompted it, the court must punish you and prevent others from indulging in this mindless violence.”

Sheriff Kelly also imposed a five year non-harassment order preventing contact between Rose and Miss McLean.

The hearing was told the pair had been at the party before Rose became "increasingly irritated" that Stephanie felt unwell.

He then made a remark outside, grabbed her, dragged her by the arm then knocked her to the ground with a punch.

Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “He stamped on her face while she was on the ground five or six times and she lost consciousness.

“She was on the pavement bleeding from her mouth and unconscious. A witness said this incident lasted for 10 minutes.”

Rose fled before his badly hurt victim was rushed to hospital.

Mr Allan said: “She had a number of cuts to her lip where her teeth had gone through.

“One of the injuries had the markings of a training shoe.”

Stephanie needed root canal treatment and braces for damage to her teeth.

Rose was later held and yelled at police he "deserved to die" for "hurting the girl" he loved.

He then spat at two officers, which he also admitted to in court.

The court was told Stephanie is still "shaken and heartbroken" at what happened.

Defence lawyer, Gerry Devanney, defending, told the court Rose “realises the seriousness of the fence and doesn’t shy away from it.”
