Drunk man assaulted partner while holding baby
He was enraged after she confronted him about his drinking.
A drunk man brutally assaulted his partner while she held a tiny baby in her arms.
Gary Rose, 27, turned on Chantelle Armstrong, 24, at their home in Glasgow's Broomhill on January 15, 2025.
Rose was enraged after she confronted him about his drinking.
He repeatedly punched Miss Armstrong, who clung onto the two-month-old, who was in their care, during the attack.
Rose then took the boy from an injured Miss Armstrong who fled the property to safety.
Rose pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Miss Armstrong to her injury.
The court heard that the pair had been in a relationship for one year at the time.
"She had the baby in her arms when Rose started punching her."
Prosecutor Jenny Reid said: "Miss Armstrong told him to get to his bed as he was drinking and trying to start an argument."
Rose initially left the property and returned three hours later when he continued to be "boisterous."
Miss Reid added: "Miss Armstrong went to the bedroom with the young child.
"She had the baby in her arms when Rose started punching her to the face three or four times, causing her nose to bleed.
"She still had the child in her arms, making sure that he was okay.
"Rose then took the baby from her arms and tried to put Miss Armstrong out."
She had bruises to her head and a bloody nose.
Miss Armstrong went to the concierge for help and the police were contacted.
Officers found Rose with the baby in his arms at the property and he was arrested.
Miss Armstrong was stated to have bruises to her head and a bloody nose.
It was revealed that Rose has a previous conviction for an assault to severe injury and danger of life.
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by Sheriff Andrew McIntyre who continued Rose's remand in custody meantime.
The sheriff said: "This is obviously very concerning, and you have a concerning record of previous conviction.
"I need to consider all the options to make sure the public are safe when you are released."
