A man, who assaulted his partner numerous times and smashed up her home, has been jailed.

Liam Thrower, 32, turned up at the woman’s house in Arbury, Cambridge, at about 6.10am on 2 November last year and punched her as well as taking her phone and house keys.

He also tackled her to the floor and put his arm over her mouth, but the victim managed to escape and hide in a bin store, until officers arrived.

Thrower also ripped out a cooker and damaged a TV unit.

The victim told officers that between June and October last year, Thrower had smashed her mobile phone, punched her on multiple occasions, grabbed her by the throat, dragged her by her hair and smashed her TV.

On Friday, 1 May, at Cambridge Crown Court, Thrower, of no fixed address, was jailed for 22 weeks, having pleaded guilty to three counts of criminal damage, three counts of assault by beating and one count of common assault.

DC Patrick Sopp, who investigated, said: “Thrower subjected his partner to four months of appalling behaviour, with multiple assaults and damaging her property, so it’s great he’s now been brought to justice.”
