A man has been jailed after attacking a woman in Worcester.
Jake Morris, 30, from Bromwich Road, Worcester, appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court today (Wednesday 3rd December).
He was found guilty of assault causing actual bodily harm, or which he was sentenced to 34 weeks, and two counts of assault and battery.
West Mercia Police say Morris subjected his victim to a prolonged attack at an address in Worcester on Tuesday (2nd December).
The force added that he pushed her down concrete stairs and punched her to the face and head, leaving her with multiple injuries.
He was arrested soon after the attack on Tuesday morning (December 2)and held in police custody overnight before his court appearance this morning (December 3).
In addition to his 34-week sentence for ABH, Morris was given a further 16 weeks in prison, bringing his total jail term to 50 weeks, after activating a suspended sentence for a previous offence for violence against another woman.
He also received a two-year restraining order against his latest victim.
Detective Constable Pete Ryland said: “We would like to commend the victim for her bravery in coming forward.
“West Mercia Police take violence against women and girls very seriously and such perpetrators will be dealt with robustly.
“In this case we are pleased to say he was swiftly arrested, brought before the courts and sent to prison for a total of 50 weeks.”
