A VIOLENT Worcester man has been jailed for pushing a woman down the stairs and repeatedly punching her.
Jake Morris, of Bromwich Road, was found guilty of actual bodily harm (ABH) and two counts of assault and battery at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday (December 3). He was sentenced to 34 weeks in prison.
The 30-year-old subjected his victim to a prolonged attack pushing her down concrete stairs and punching her to the face and head resulting in multiple injuries at an address in Worcester on Tuesday (December 2).
He was swiftly arrested and remanded in police custody overnight before his court appearance the next morning.
Morris was given an additional 16-week sentence – bringing his total jail term to 50 weeks – after activating a suspended sentence for a previous offence for violence against a different woman.
He was further handed 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.”
